The study of the chemistry of compounds containing Si-O bonds has for many years been
dominated by both silica and minerals for which the formula unit SiO2 is important, or by the …

The article reviews the work on the synthesis, properties, and structure of curious oligo-and
polysiloxanes which have been done mainly by the authors, referring the related papers. So …

In recent years, olefin cross metathesis (CM) has emerged as a powerful and convenient
synthetic technique in organic chemistry; however, as a general synthetic method, CM has …

We perform molecular dynamics simulations of a bead− spring polymer melt surrounding a
nanoscopic particle. We explore the effect of the polymer/nanoparticle interactions, surface …

The dissolution of high surface area silica with tetralkylammonium hydroxides at
concentrations greater than 0.2 M, produces polyanionic cage structures,[R4N+][− OSiO1. 5] …

Polyhedral oligosilsesquioxane (POSS)-based hybrid polymers have generated much
interest recently, both from the academic and industrial points of view. POSS are completely …

For 40 years, the industrial production of polyolefins has mainly been based on classical
heterogeneous (Ziegler-Natta-and Phillips-type) catalysts. Only during the past decade have …

Low-dielectric-constant nanoporous films (dielectric constant, k= 2.4) with thermal integrity
and controllable mechanical strength have been prepared by covalently tethering …

We perform molecular dynamics simulations of an idealized polymer melt surrounding a
nanoscopic filler particle. We show that the glass transition temperature T g of the melt can …

Polyimide-tethered polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane,(R7R 'Si8O12)(POSS),
nanocomposites with well-defined architectures are prepared by the copolymerization …
