Synthesis and Characterization of Silsesquioxane-Based Polymer Hybrids with Controlled Structure

We have developed a method to obtain polymer hybrids with control of inorganic content and molecular configuration. Hybrid poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) was obtained via atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) initiated by octafunctional cubic silsesquioxanes using CuCl as catalyst. Two diffe...
