Rheological Investigation of Entangled Hybrid Copolymers of Polystyrene (PS) with Polyhedral Oligosilsesquioxane (POSS)
نویسندگان
چکیده
The thermal properties and rheological behaviors of polystyrene (PS)-based thermoplastics bearing polyhedral oligosilsesquioxane (POSS) were investigated with variation of isobutyl (iBu)-POSS weight percentage. The incorporation of POSS-group significantly decreases the glass transition temperature and the rubbery plateau modulus. These findings are attributed to an influence of the nanometer-scale POSS pendant group on the microscopic topology of the host polymeric chains and negligible interactions between POSS and PS matrix.

Amphiphilic telechelics incorporating polyhedral oligosilsesquioxane (POSS) end-caps were synthesized and studied as a novel building block for the construction of inorganic-organic hybrid materials. Their micron-scale morphologies were investigated using hot-stage polarizing optical microscopy (POM), revealing a dramatic influence of POSS macromer incorporation. The molecular-scale crystalline...
