Trisilanolisobutyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (TSI-POSS) with the humping semi-enclosed cage structure, was incorporated in concentrations of 7, 13 and 22 wt% into 4,4’-methylenebis (phenyl isocyanate) (MDI) and glycerol propoxylate to prepare TSI-POSS/PU hybrid composites, respectively. The polymer chain characteristics of these composites were investigated by wide angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) and molecular dynamics simulation approach. The results indicate that with TSI-POSS concentration increasing up to 22 wt% in hybrid composites, due to the humping semi-enclosed cage structure, distinct crystallite clusters are formed which lead to the micro-phase separation in composites. Meanwhile, the mobility of TSI-POSS cores and backbones in PU composites has been evaluated by the mean square displacement, which confirms that as the concentration of TSI-POSS increasing, the mobility of polymer chains are restricted apparently. Furthermore, it also indicates that the incorporation of TSI-POSS is as the rigid core in hybrid composites.

Multiwall Carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are frequently attractive due to their novel physical and chemical characteristics, as well as their larger aspect ratio and higher conductivity. Therefore, MWCNTs can allow tremendous possibilities for the improvement of the necessarily unique composite materials system. The present work deals with the fabrication of Cu-Fe/CNTs hybrid composites manufactured by powder metallurgy techniques. Copper powder with 10 vol. % of iron powder and different volume fractions of Multi-Wall Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNTs) were mixed to get hybrid composites. The hybrid composites were fabricated by adding 0.3, 0.6, 0.9, and 1.2 vol.% of MWCNTs to Cu- 10% Fe mixture using a mechanical mixer. The samples were compressed under a load of 700 MPa using a hydraulic press to compact the samples. Sintering was done at 900°C for 2 h at 5ºC/min heating rate. The microscopic structure was studied using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The effect of CNTs on the mechanical and wear properties, such as micro-hardness, dry sliding wear, density, and porosity were studied in detail. The wear tests were carried out at a fixed time of 20 minutes while the applied loads were varied (5, 10, 15, and 20 N). SEM images revealed that CNTs were uniformly distributed with relative agglomeration within the Cu/Fe matrix. The results showed that the hardness, density, and wear rates decreased while the percentage of porosity increased with increasing the CNT volume fraction. Furthermore, the wear rate for all the CNTs contents increased with the applied load.
