From NSDL Materials Digital Library Soft Matter Wiki
POSS stands for Polyhedral Oligomeric Silsesquioxane. POSS is made of silicon and oxygen atoms linked together in a cubic form, with silicon atoms occupying the corners. Commercially, POSS has many applications, such as [1]:
- Additive for heat and abrasion resistant paints
- Space resistant resins
- Precursors to ceramic matrices
