The discovery of the first “living” radical polymerization by Otsu and co-workers (1) in 1982
heralded the start of a very exciting time for polymer chemists. Since then, a plethora of living …

Recent progress in surface-initiated polymerization enables the deliberate polymer
modification of nanoscopic surfaces with high levels of precision. This has given rise to the …

This review describes the syntheses of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (T8-POSS)
compounds, the miscibility of POSS derivatives and polymers, the preparation of both …

Precision control of radical polymerization, or living radical polymerization, has been among
the most important and long-waited subjects in polymer chemistry and macromolecular …

This review summarizes recent work on manufacturing of different types of composites.
There is a great need to engineer multi-phase (ie, composite) materials that combine the …

Polysilsesquioxanes are regarded as organic–inorganic hybrid materials at a molecular
level. We can readily tune the properties of the materials for realizing the desired ones by …

Well-defined hybrid polymers based on polyhedral oligomeric silsequioxane (POSS) with a
variety of architectures have been developed, including telechelic polymers, block …

The ultraviolet (UV) curable organic/inorganic hybrid coating is a kind of environment
friendly paint products with rapid development in recent decade. It combines UV curing and …

The dissolution of high surface area silica with tetralkylammonium hydroxides at
concentrations greater than 0.2 M, produces polyanionic cage structures,[R4N+][− OSiO1. 5] …

Polyhedral oligosilsesquioxane (POSS)-based hybrid polymers have generated much
interest recently, both from the academic and industrial points of view. POSS are completely …
