Hybrid Inorganic/Organic Polymers

Experimental Approach

• Hybrid Polymers

POSS macromer contain reactive sites (monofunctional, difuncational or multifunctional) is added to organic monomer to form either linear copolymers of hybrid polymeric networks. Since the inorganic phase is chemically attached to the organic phase, it is expected the POSS domain to be homogeneous.

• Nano-Composites

POSS macromer contain no specific reactive sites is mixed with polymer directly. The mixing process range form twin-screw compounding or common solvent solution mixing. The dispersion of POSS macromers depend on the miscibility between polymer and POSS macromer. Property of composite can be affect by the interactions between polymeric matrix and the reinforced POSS fillers.

Summary on POSS hybrid copolymers

• The POSS retard the motion of entire polymer chain, which slows all time-dependent properties. For epoxy containing POSS, the rate of physical aging is not affected, but the time to reach structural equilibrium increases as amount of POSS increases. The presence of POSS also enhanced the observed glass transition temperature.

• For PMMA-POSS copolymers, the observed Tg also increase with amount of POSS segments within the copolymer. Furthermore, the POSS segment acts like “crosslinking” junction, which means the copolymer behave more like a crosslinked solid at temperature above Tg rather than like an entangled polymer melt.

Summary on POSS-Polymer Blends

• Depending on the the organic group surrounding the inorganic cage, it is possible for POSS macromer to “dissolve” in the polymeric matrix.

• With proper selection of POSS macromers, it is possible to improve the thermal degradation resistance of polymers.

• With proper selection of POSS macromers, it is possible to improve the heat deflection temperature of polymers.

• There is a general lack of understanding of property improvement observed in POSS-polymer blends.
