Poly(butyl acrylate-co-methyl methacrylate-co-octavinyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane) (OVPOSS-P(BA-MMA)) nanocomposites were synthesized by emulsion polymerization. The structures of nanocomposites were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectrum (FTIR) and solubility experiment. It was shown that the network structures have been formed during the copolymerization. Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) was used to investigate the dynamic mechanical and thermal properties. The data indicate that the crosslinking density apparently affects the mechanical and thermal properties of OVPOSS-P(BA-MMA).

Incompletely condensed tetra-silanol-phenyl-polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (TOPO) was synthesized first and then copolymerized with hydroxy terminated polydimethylsiloxane (HPDMS) as a cross linking agent to prepare room temperature vulcanized (RTV) silicone rubber (TOPO–PDMS).

The SiC nanoparticles (NPs) were sonochemically coated with OctaIsobutyl (OI) polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) to create a compatible interface between particle and thermoset polymer. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques were used to analyze the structure of OI-POSS coated SiC nanoparticles. These results revealed the formation of a covalent bonding between SiC and OI-POSS. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis of OI-POSS coated SiC nanoparticles has also shown the indication of attachment between these two nanoparticles. The OI-POSS coated SiC nanoparticles were further reinforced into a thermoset resin system in order to evaluate mechanical and thermal properties of nanocomposites. The flexural strength, modulus, and glass transition temperature were found to be enhanced while SiC and OI-POSS coated SiC were infused into epoxy system compared to those properties of neat epoxy resin.
