Objective
Recently, novel nanomaterials with unprecedented properties have attracted great attention, due to the rapid requirement of the emerging technologies in the fields such as biology and microelectronics. In this project, we proposed a novel kind of nanomaterials, organic/inorganic hybirds containing polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS). POSS-containing hybrid polymers with unique architectures will be prepared using advanced polymer synthesis protocols. These hybrid polymers could self-assemble into a rich variety of morphologies in domains with periodicities such as lamellae in bulk or micelle in solution. We will carry out primary test of the resulting POSS-containing nanomaterials for drug delivery applications and explore many other applications such as catalysis and nanoreactors, microelectronics, molecular template, etc.
