Polymer/polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) nanocomposites: An overview of fire retardance

A review is presented of the recent developments concerning the use of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) for designing polymer nanocomposites endowed with enhanced fire retardancy. Emphasis is placed on the scientific and technological advances in the use of POSS as fire retardants, as well as on the achievements and challenges associated to the exploitation of POSS either alone or in combination with conventional fire retardants to provide the required fire retardancy to polymer materials. Polymer/POSS nanocomposites show a great potential to provide materials characterized by improved fire retardancy together with superior physical properties and environmental neutrality. Achievements obtained with POSS in fire retardancy are presented for the different types of polymer materials and critically discussed, especially in terms of the modes of fire retardant action, in the attempt to reveal attractive strategies for successful development of the next generation of polymer/POSS materials and applications.     

Preparation of VB‐a/POSS hybrid monomer and its polymerization of polybenzoxazine/POSS hybrid nanocomposites

A benzoxazine monomer (VB‐a) containing an allyl groups was synthesized through the Mannich condensation of bisphenol A, formaldehyde, and allylamine (bisphenol‐A and allylamine as VB‐a). This monomer was then reacted with polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) through hydrosilylation, followed by thermal curing to form poly(VB‐a)/POSS hybrid nanocomposites. The curing behavior of the nanocomposites was monitored using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and their thermal and morphological properties were investigated through thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), and scanning electron microscopy. DMA revealed that the glass transition temperatures of the poly(VB‐a)/POSS nanocomposites were higher than that of the pristine poly(VB‐a), presumably because the POSS cages effectively hindered the motion of the polymer chains. TGA confirmed that the thermal degradation temperatures and char yields of the polybenzoxazines increased after incorporation of the POSS moieties. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Studies on nonisothermal crystallization of HDPE/POSS nanocomposites

The nonisothermal crystallization of HDPE/POSS nanocomposites (POSS content varying from 1 to 10 wt%) was studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) technique. The Ozawa approach failed to describe the crystallization behaviour of nanocomposites, whereas the modified Avrami analysis could explain the behaviour of HDPE/POSS (90:10) nanocomposite only. The value of Avrami exponent n for HDPE/POSS (90:10) nanocomposite ranged from 2.5 to 2.9 and decreased with increasing cooling rate. It is postulated that the values of n close to 3 are caused by spherulitic crystal growth with heterogeneous nucleation while simultaneous occurrence of spherulitic and lamellar crystal growth with heterogeneous nucleation account for lower values of n at higher cooling rates. A novel kinetic model by Liu et al. was able to satisfactorily describe the crystallization behaviour of HDPE/POSS nanocomposites. Presence of POSS did not cause significant change in the activation energy for the transport of polymer segments to the growing crystal surface. POSS molecules exhibit nucleation activity only at 10 wt% loading in HDPE and are not effective nuclei at lower loadings.     

Effect of POSS on morphology and mechanical properties of polyamide 12/montmorillonite nanocomposites

Sodium-montmorillonite (MMT) was modified with two types of AP-POSS and OA-POSS and dual-surfactants (POSS with a ditallow-based second surfactant: 04AP-POSS/08DTDMA and 04OA-POSS/08DTDMA), respectively, via ion-exchange reaction. The interlayer space, interlamellar structure, thermal and surface properties of these organo-montmorillonites were investigated by X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, and contact angle measurement. The interlayer space of POSS modified clay was strongly dependent on the arrangement of POSS surfactants, but less on the POSS concentration. The POSS modified montmorillonites have partially exchanged silicate surfaces and good thermal stabilities due to steric hindering and thermal stability of the POSS molecules. Dual-surfactant modified montmorillonites showed higher exchange ratio and possessed better compatibility with PA12 due to the lower interfacial free energy. Polyamide 12-montmorillonite nanocomposites were prepared by conventional melt compounding with the four POSS based organo-montmorillonites. The best dispersion of modified montmorillonite was observed for 3 mass% 04AP-POSS/08DTDMA/MMT filled PA12 nanocomposites, which resulted in the best mechanical performance with an increase of 60% in tensile modulus and 10% in yield strength, respectively, compared to that of pure PA12. Compatibility between montmorillonites and polymer was not the only key factor affecting dispersion, thermal stability and interlayer space were also crucial for good dispersion of montmorillonites in polymer matrix.     

Synthesis and characterization of UV-cured epoxy acrylate/POSS nanocomposites

In this study, epoxy acrylate (EA)/vinyl-polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) nanocomposites were prepared through in situ polymerization and by UV-curing technique. The vinyl-POSS monomers were added to EA matrix by physically blending at loadings between 0 wt.% and 15 wt.%. The microstructure of the EA/vinyl-POSS composites was studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements, and the result indicated that the separate POSS domains were present in EA/POSS composites. Aggregates were observed in the nanocomposites by SEM and the EDS results indicated that there were vinyl-POSS molecules existing in the EA matrix. TEM images further proved there were both POSS aggregates and monomers dispersed in the EA matrix. The kinetics of the photopolymerization was investigated by real time FTIR spectroscopy. The DSC analysis showed that the increasing POSS content caused a decrease on the composite's glass transition temperature. TGA measures confirmed that the degradation mechanism of EA was not affected by POSS and the nanocomposites thermal stability was slightly improved with the increasing of POSS loadings. It can be seen that the degradation rate slowed down with the increasing of POSS content and the 50% mass loss temperature of EA/POSS hybrids all increased conspicuously relative to plain EA.     

Performance enhancement of polylactide by nanoblending with POSS and graphene oxide

We report the effect of filler modification on the properties of polylactide (PLA)‐based nanocomposites, where graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets and polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) nanocages are employed as nanofillers. The organically treated nanofillers are termed as GO‐functionalized and POSS‐functionalized. The synthesis of the nanocomposites was carried out via in situ ring‐opening polymerization of lactic acid (LA). The following four naocomposite systems were prepared, characterized, and compared to achieve a better understanding of structure‐property relationship (1) PLA/GO‐functionalized, (2) PLA/POSS‐functionalized, (3) PLA/physical mixture of GO‐functionalized and POSS‐functionalized, and (4) PLA/GO‐graft‐POSS (with eight hydroxyl groups). As revealed by the thermal and mechanical (nanoindendation) characterization, that the nanocomposites having a combination of GO and POSS as nanofiller, either as physical mixture of GO‐functionalized and POSS‐functionalized or as GO‐graft‐POSS, is far more superior as compared with the nanocomposites having individually dispersed nanofillers in the PLA matrix. Observed enhancement is attributing to the synergistic effect of the nanofillers as well as better dispersion of the modified‐fillers in the matrix. POLYM.

The synthesis and characterization of polystyrene/magnetic polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) nanocomposites

Fc-CHCH-C₆H₆-(C₅H₉)₇Si₈O₁₂ (POSS1, Fc: ferrocene) which contain both metal and CC double bond was firstly synthesized by Wittig reaction. The chemical structure of POSS1 was characterized by FTIR, ¹H, ¹³C and ²⁹Si NMR, mass spectrometry and elemental analysis, and the magnetic property of POSS1 have also been studied. Polystyrene composites containing inorganic-organic hybrid polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS1) were prepared by bulk free radical polymerization. XRD and TEM studies indicate that POSS1 is completely dispersed at molecular level in PS matrix when 1 wt% POSS1 is introduced, while some POSS1-rich nanoparticals are present when content of POSS1 is beyond 3 wt%. GPC results show that molecular weight of the PS/POSS1 nanocomposites are increased with addition of POSS1. TGA and TMA data show the thermal stabilities of PS/POSS1 nanocomposites have been improved compared to neat PS. The PS/POSS1 nanocomposites also display higher glass transition temperatures (T_g) in comparison with neat PS. Viscoelastic properties of PS/POSS1 nanocomposites were investigated by DMTA. The results show the storage modulus (E′) values (temperature>T_g) and the loss factor peak values of the PS/POSS1 nanocomposites are higher than that of neat PS. Mechanical properties of the PS/POSS1 nanocomposites are improved compared to the neat PS.
