A new series of highly bright and efficient poly(pphenylenevinylene) s (PPV)s based on polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSSs) was synthesized via the Gilch polymerization method. The three POSScontaining PPVs are as follows: POSS05- PPV(containing 5 mol % POSS-appended PPV units), POSS25-PPV(containing 25 mol % POSS-appended PPV units), and POSS100-PPV(containing 100 mol % POSS-appended PPV units; this is the first ${\pi}-conjugated$ polymer composed of 100 mol % POSSsappended repeating units). The POSS-containing PPVs exhibit higher glass transition temperatures $(64-77^{\circ}C)$ than that of MEH-PPV $(58^{\circ}C)$, indicating that electroluminescence (EL) devices fabricated with these polymers should have good thermal stabilities. Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with the configuration of ITO/PEDOT:PSS/polymer/Ca/Al were fabricated using the novel POSS-containing PPVs. Surprisingly, the luminescence efficiency (0.48 cd/A at $10540\;cd/m^2$) of the binary blend consisting 5 wt % of POSS25-PPV and 95 wt % of MEH-PPV was found to be enhanced by a factor of 6.4 with a maximum brightness of $11010cd/m^2$ (at 14.3 V).

Consolidants based on tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) such as alkoxysilanes have been widely used for the consolidation of decaying stone heritages. Low-viscosity alkoxysilanes penetrate inside the decaying stone and polymerize within the porous structure of the decaying stone, significantly increasing the cohesion of the material. However, TEOS-based consolidants suffer from practical drawbacks, such as crack formation of the gel during the drying phase due to the developed capillary force, which is typical for TEOS-based consolidants. We prepared new consolidants TEOS-based consolidants containing flexible (3-glycidoxypropyl)trimethoxysilane (GPTMS) and silica nanoparticles (or polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS)) in order to reduce capillary force development during gel drying. Since the consolidants should have a good interaction with the component of the stone in order to connect the isolate grains of decaying stone, the adhesion interaction of the developed consolidants on the surface of the granite was macroscopically investigated by the ISO 2409 cross cutting test. The adhesion interaction decreased with the addition of silica nanoparticle and POSS while it increased with the addition of GPTMS in TEOS solution.

High-energy ball milling was tested as a method for producing Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE)- based nanodielectrics containing 1 wt% and 5 wt% OctaIsoButylPOSS (OibPOSS). Qualitative and quantitative evaluations were used to explore the compatibility between OibPOSS and PE. Several ball milling variables were optimized in a bid to achieve UHMWPE/OibPOSS nanodielectrics. The morphology, as well as the thermal and the dielectric properties of the samples, were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, broadband dielectric spectroscopy, and progressive-stress breakdown tests. The results showed that (i) ball milling was an effective method for producing UHMWPE/OibPOSS dielectric composites, but appeared ineffective in dispersing OibPOSS at the nanoscale, and (ii) the resulting UHMWPE/OibPOSS dielectric composites presented thermal and dielectric properties similar to those of neat UHMWPE.

Polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) were used as starting materials for the preparation of hybrid materials with polystyrene (PS). Optically transparent hybrids were obtained in a wide range of weight ratios when phenyl groups were introduced to each corner of the silsesquioxane. In contrast, as cyclohexyl groups were introduced, the obtained hybrid materials with PS resulted in turbid films. The aromatic (${\pi}-{\pi}$) interaction was confirmed to be a quite effective tool for the synthesis of organic-Inorganic polymer hybrids with POSS. The obtained homogeneous and transparent hybrid films could be dissolved in solvents and East again without any separation. The homogeneity of polymer hybrids with POSS was supported by the result of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), which demonstrated a nanometer-level integration of PS and POSS.

In this work, a new family of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) based esters have been synthesized that consists eight ester functional groups. These are classified into Type-I and Type-II esters based on the starting materials, octakis(3-chloropropyl)silsesquioxane (Cl-POSS) and octakis(3-hydroxypropyldimethylsiloxy) octasilsesquioxane (OHPS) respectively. These new POSS type ester moieties can be used as insulating oils and oil additives in the transformers and also considered to be alternatives to mineral and vegetable oils that are presently used in the insulation system.

Color stable hydrogenated bisphenol-A (HBA) epoxy adhesives containing organic-inorganic hybrid nanocomposites were prepared and investigated the properties. Isophorone-diamine (IPDA) was used as a hardener and polyhedral organomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS; EP0408 and EP0409) having epoxy function groups were used to tailor adhesives in the nanoscale range. The dependence of the concentration of different nano materials were studied since the large surface area of the nanosized particles can cause significant changes in properties of adhesives. HBA-IPDA adhesives containing different amount of nanomaterials have been applied to the fresh Namsan granite and compared with those of commercial adhesives, which have problems of color change as well as a high viscosity. The mechanical properties of HBA-IPDA containing POSSs are consistent with those of commercial adhesives in addition to the low viscosity.
