Summary: Polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) is a nanoscale reinforcement that can modify the mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties of thermosetting polymers, such as epoxy resin systems. The inclusion of POSS in epoxy resin at higher loading introduces ductility in the fracture behavior of nanocomposites. The J-integral is used to quantify the fracture behavior and characterizes the crack growth resistance curve. Different nanocomposites are prepared by adding varying amounts of glycidyl POSS into DGEBF epoxy resin, and the fracture toughness experiments show that the addition of POSS improves crack initiation toughness and changes the failure behavior due to the development of POSS-POSS compliant domains. The increase in fracture resistance at higher POSS loading is due to shear yielding, while the increased fracture toughness at lower POSS loading is due to crack pinning and deflection.

Summary: Molecular dynamics simulations were used to study the aggregation of POSSP molecules in water, with different functional groups affecting the aggregation process and final morphology. It was observed that the isobutyl substituents drive the aggregation mainly through the hydrophobic effect, while the phenyl POSS unit self-assembles primarily through the hydrophobic effect with additional pi-pi and H-bonding interactions. The final morphology of the aggregates suggests significant implications for the optical properties of the molecules.

Summary: Two hybrid organic-inorganic porous polymers, OVS-A HPP and OVS-P-A HPP, were synthesized through a chemical reaction. The chemical structures of these materials were confirmed through spectroscopy, and their thermal stability, surface area, and electrochemical performance were measured. The results showed that OVS-A HPP has higher thermal stability and surface area, while OVS-P-A HPP has higher specific capacitance, which can be attributed to the different cross-linking density and Faradaic reaction between the aromatic rings and anthracene moiety in the materials.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between the morphology of PMMA monopolymers and PMMA-PHEMA copolymers with the expected nature of surfactant-free microemulsions (SFMEs) before polymerization. It is found that previously mesostructured, surfactant-free mixtures can produce porous polymers of different morphologies, while unstructured, oil-rich regions lead to solid, transparent polymers without nanostructured morphologies. Additionally, a surfactant-based reference system shows similar phase behavior and polymer morphologies as the comparable surfactant-free system, indicating the importance of the hydrotropic behavior of HEMA in this system.
