A POSS-PMMA copolymer has been synthesised by conventional free-radical polymerisation reaction. Uniform electrospun fibres from this copolymer showed a water contact angle as high as 165 degrees with a sliding angle as low as 6 degrees . For the first time, we found that the electrospun fibres had a bundled nanofibril secondary structure with an ordered POSS morphology on the fibre surface.

The development of posterior capsule opacification (PCO) after intraocular lenses (IOL) implantation for dealing with cataract is mainly due to the severe loss of the human lens epithelial cells (HLECs) during surgery contact. A novel poly (hedral oligomeric silsesquioxane-co-methyl methacrylate) copolymer (allyl POSS-PMMA) was synthesized by free radical polymerization method to promote the adhesion of HLECs. FT-IR and (1)H NMR measurements indicated the existence of POSS cage in the product, which demonstrated the successful synthesis of allyl POSS-PMMA copolymer.

Polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) end-capped diblock copolymers are synthesized using aminopropylisobutyl POSS (ap-POSS-Br) to initiate atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of methylmethacrylate (MMA) and methacrylisobutyl POSS (MA-POSS). Their chemical structures are confirmed as ap-POSS-PMMA152.0-b-P(MA-POSS)4.
