Abstract. POSS as a new kind of nanofiller which is organic-inorganic composite with nano-size and cage-like structure was added into polymer could to some extent improve materials' anti-high-temperature, anti-corrosion, surface hardness and other mechanical properties, had aroused great attentions of scientists workers. Reviews on the investigations that had been made on mechanism for mechanical reinforcement of Polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) reinforced polymer composites were presented. Several methods publicly published for predicted modulus of composites reinforced POSS up to now were also analyzed. Finally, the future research trends were outlined.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
