Ultra-thin hybrid polyhedral silsesquioxane–polyamide films with potentially unlimited 2D dimensions

Characterization and CO2 sorption properties of poly[methacryloxypropylheptacyclopentyl‐T8‐silsesquioxane‐ co‐3‐methacryloxypropyltris(trimethylsiloxy)silane]

“…However, there are few reports of POSS‐containing homopolymer membranes because it is difficult to fabricate the membrane from POSS‐containing homopolymers due to the lack of the entanglement affected by the cage‐type POSS unit 1, 22–24. Recently, POSS‐polyamide self‐supporting urtrathin film have fabricated 25. Additionally, although the CO 2 solubility in the POSS‐containing polymers for gas separation is important property, there are few reports for the CO 2 sorption property of POSS‐containing composites,19, 20 while there are no studies on the CO 2 sorption property of POSS‐containing homopolymer and copolymers.…”

Tailor‐Made Hybrid Organic–Inorganic Porous Materials Based on Polyhedral Oligomeric Silsesquioxanes (POSS) by the Step‐Growth Mechanism of Thiol‐Ene “Click” Chemistry

“…This is interesting primarily from a fundamental point of view, but also to pave the way for technological advances toward materials in widely defined areas such as catalysis, chromatography, membrane filtration, nanomedicine, solid-phase extraction, etc. [11] The initial screening experiments of the reaction described herein utilized vinylPOSS precursors (Scheme 1 a) in the presence of thiol and initiator. In situ reaction monitoring with Raman spectroscopy showed nearly equal consumption of the thiol and vinyl functional groups, strongly indicating that a step-growth pathway is favored (Figure S1).…”

Recent Development in Aquaporin (AQP) Membrane Design

“…These research data may be suggestive of an effective polymersome incorporation occurring in the AL. Moreover, polymersomes did not appear to prevent the PA creation, primarily due to the peaks of a PA bond, the C═O stretch at 1636 cm −1 and the N─H stretch at 1545 cm −1 [61], being openly observable in the AL with polymersomes. Finally, partial hydrolysis of the POSS leading to the AL creation is not seriously disturbed by the occurrence of the polymersomes, as the usual peaks for the POSScage and ladder (1125 and 1040 cm −1 [61]) were observable in both of the AL.…”

“…POSS (amine linker), TMC (acyl chloride linker), and polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane have been surveyed for possible applications when it comes the inclusion of proteopolymersomes in ABPMs. A research study recently outlined how POSS can be integrated as an AL layer component, with the data suggesting that POSS-TMC-layer distinctly showed a layer without valleys and ridges, but with elevated mechanical stability capacity in Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) membranes [61]. This experimental method can offer a potentially improved platform for the incorporation of proteopolymersomes, if compared to the valley and ridge prone m-phenyl diamine-Trimesoyl chloride MPD-TMC networks.…”

“…However, there was a noticeable influence of polymersomes on the TMC and its potential reactivity. Initially, Dalwani et al research collaborative employed 2-g/L TMC for the supported as well as nonsupported AL [61]. During the testing, an alternative dynamic was observed where there was a nonsupported AL with 2 g/L, but with 0.5 g/L, TMC could not be incited to form.…”
