Determination of Mechanical and Surface Properties of Semicrystalline Polyhedral Oligomeric Silsesquioxane (POSS) Nanocomposites

INTRODUCTION: (1) Nanomodification of semicrystalline polymers -- unequalled thermal, mechanical and surface properties at low volume fractions that cannot be obtained using conventional fillers; (2) Blending POSS molecules into polymers can increase the thermal and mechanical properties as well as...

Zusammenfassung:INTRODUCTION: (1) Nanomodification of semicrystalline polymers -- unequalled thermal, mechanical and surface properties at low volume fractions that cannot be obtained using conventional fillers; (2) Blending POSS molecules into polymers can increase the thermal and mechanical properties as well as the surface properties; (3) The objective of this study is to examine the effect of blending various POSS molecules into a variety of appropriate semicrystalline polymers. Presented at the SAMPE 2005 Fall Technical Conference, held in Seattle, WA, on 30 Oct-3 Nov 2005. Prepared in collaboration with Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI.
