Abstract
Research into polymers incorporating polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) has intensified during the past several years, revealing new fundamental polymer physics, new synthetic routes, and unexpected applications. The present review article critically examines the recent scientific literature on POSS polymers with an emphasis on structure-property relationships. We conclude that it is an exciting time to work on such materials and we expect the field to continue to grow in the foreseeable future.
