description

AbstractPoly(methylsilsesquioxane) (PMSSQ) based hybrid materials are promising candidates to produce substrate-independent stable and adherent surface coatings. Usually these materials are synthesized by controlled radical polymerization from inorganic precursors. The presented synthetic pathway in here demonstrates how to graft PMSSQ networks from an endgroup-functionalized organic polymer and thus enlarges the range of accessible inorganic/organic hybrid coating materials.
