Influence of Peripheral Architecture on the Properties of Aryl Polyhedral Oligomeric Silsesquioxanes

Abstract

POSS compounds with non-reactive, aryl functionality are difficult to disperse in host materials. Recently, several new POSS compounds featuring this type of periphery demonstrated enhanced solubility in solvents and polymers. The effect of peripheral architecture on macroscale properties of aryl POSS compounds is not well understood. POSS properties should be dependent on peripheral architecture, symmetry, and packing efficiency. The aim of this work is to correlate peripheral architecture to POSS assembly and measurable thermal properties.
