Polymer/POSS Nanocomposites and Hybrid Materials Preparation, Properties, Applications By: Susheel Kalia Publisher: Springer Print ISBN: 9783030023263, 3030023265 eText ISBN: 9783030023270, 3030023273 Copyright year: 2018 Format: EPUB Available from $ 149.00 USD SKU 9783030023270 This book provides an overview of polymer nanocomposites and hybrid materials with polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS). Among inorganic nanoparticles, functionalized POSS are unique nano-building blocks that can be used to create a wide variety of hybrid and composite materials, where precise control of nanostructures and properties is required. This book describes the influence of incorporation of POSS moieties into (organic) polymer matrices on the mechanical, thermal and flammability behavior of composites and hybrid organic-inorganic materials. Importantly, POSS-containing materials can be bio-functionalized by linking e Download ebook: https://ouo.io/x2ybLR3
