“…82,83 Based on these advantages, researchers have employed LPSQ as an additive or filler in polymer resins to enhance mechanical properties [84][85][86][87] and impart specific functionalities. [88][89][90][91][92] LPSQ is currently under active investigation as a base material for use in applications where POSS has encountered challenges, such as in hard coatings with various functionalities, [93][94][95][96][97] gate dielectrics, 82,[98][99][100][101] battery separators, [102][103][104] ionic liquid gelators, 34,105,106 and gas separation membranes, [107][108][109] thereby broadening the range of applications of silsesquioxanes (Fig. 1c).…”
