  1. Organic-Inorganic Hybrid Polymers Adam Wise DREAM Program Department of Chemical Engineering July 15th, 2004 Advisor: Dr. G. R. Palmese

  2. Organic-Inorganic Hybrids • Take advantage of the properties of dissimilar materials • Circumvent the limitations of polymeric materials • Create new applications for plastics (space, etc)

  3. Integrating the Inorganic Component

  4. Integrating the Inorganic Component

  5. Polyhedral Oligomeric Silsesquioxane

  6. POSS “Passivation” Passivation Layer

  7. THF-PGE System as a Sandbox • Allows easy and inexpensive exploration of THF retention in a polymer system • Acts a springboard to further experimentation with more useful polymers

  8. THF Retention in PGE

  9. THF Retention in PGE

  10. THF effect on Molecular Weight

  11. Future Experimentation • Examination of the effects of THF inclusion on the modulus of solid polymers • Substitution of POSS-bearing isomers of THF • Verifying the utility of copolymerized POSS-bearing species
