Popis: | Synthesis, chain characteristics, and time-dependent viscoelastic response of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS)-containing hybrid polymers were investigated. Unlike many other reported POSS hybrid copolymers works, the POSS-grafted copolymers used in this study, although having different amounts of POSS attachments, have the same degrees of polymerization and molecular weight distribution. This was accomplished by grafting different amounts of aluminosilsesquioxane onto a previously synthesized, random copolymer of styrene and vinyl−diphenylphosphine oxide, PSP. The coordination bonding between aluminum and phosphine oxide is quantitative, which enables the investigation of physical characteristics and viscoelastic response of polymers as influenced only by the POSS attachments. Similar to other hybrid polymers with covalently bonded POSS, we observed a systemic increase in the characteristic relaxation time of polymers at the terminal zone due to the POSS attachment. Linear viscoelastic respon... |
