This study introduces aptamer-functionalized polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) nanoparticles for adenosine triphosphate (ATP) detection where the POSS nanoparticles were synthesized in a one-step, continuous flow microfluidic reactor utilizing thermal polymerization. A microemulsion containing POSS monomers was generated in the microfluidic reactor which was designed to prevent clogging by using a continuous oil flow around the emulsion during thermal polymerization. Surfaces of POSS nanoparticles were biomimetically modified by polydopamine. The aptamer sequence for ATP was successfully attached to POSS nanoparticles. The aptamer-modified POSS nanoparticles were tested for affinity-based biosensor applications using ATP as a model molecule. The nanoparticles were able to capture ATP molecules successfully with an affinity constant of 46.5 [Formula: see text]M. Based on this result, it was shown, for the first time, that microfluidic synthesis of POSS nanoparticles can be utilized in designing aptamer-functionalized nanosystems for biosensor applications. The integration of POSS in biosensing technologies not only exemplifies the versatility and efficacy of these nanoparticles but also marks a significant contribution to the field of biorecognition and sample preparation.

Relatively high volumetric shrinkage induced by polymerization of photopolymer severely limits its applications in high-density holographic storage. In this paper, what we believe to be a novel organic-inorganic hybrid nanoparticles (NPs) of octaphenyl-polyhedral Oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) are employed into polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/acrylamide photopolymer with 300µm thickness. By optimizing the concentration of octaphenyl-POSS, the volumetric shrinkage is successfully suppressed from 1.

Although widely used polymers, such as polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP), are easily recyclable, complex engineering polymer blends used in the automotive sector involve recycling challenges at the end of life. This study explores the alterations in the properties of compatibilized PA6/TPE blends under multiple thermomechanical recycling conditions, especially for the automotive industry in underhood applications. The compatibilization of PA6/TPE blends was achieved through the incorporation of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) nanoparticles, specifically utilizing variants with three and multiple epoxide functional groups (TriEpPOSS and MultEpPOSS, respectively) in their cage structures.

Peritoneal adhesion typically occurs in applications such as abdominal, pelvic, and vascular surgery. It is necessary to develop a mechanical barrier to prevent adhesion. In this study, a novel biomaterial as a mechanical barrier is developed by combining polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), doped with polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) to prevent peritoneal adhesion.
