Polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) have emerged in recent years as a novel class of nanostructured organosilicon compounds which have been applied in the design of new inorganic-organic hybrid nanocomposite materials. The versatility of preparing POSS compounds functionalized with differen...
