On a novel method to synthesize POSS-based hybrids: An example of the preparation of TPU based system

A novel method to prepare polymer/polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) hybrids by melt reactive blending is proposed in this paper, by the controlled polymer chain scission and reaction of chain ends with functional silsesquioxanes. Application to thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPU) is address...
