We report a new strategy for the crosslinking of low density polyethylene (LDPE) by using a small amount of functional nanostructured hybrid agent, octavinyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (OVPOSS), as the crosslinker, which dramatically decreases the amount of dicumyl peroxide (DCP) and thus avoids the chain scission, scorch, and production of small pores in the conventional peroxide crosslinking strategy. By melt blending under an extruder, OVPOSS aggregates with sizes of tens of nanometers are homogeneously distributed in the matrix of LDPE, as confirmed by SEM. FTIR, DSC, and rheometry are used to study the crosslinking process and product properties. We found that vinyl groups of OVPOSS are firstly activated by the initiator of DCP and then react with LDPE to form an integrated network. The crosslinking process is fast and highly efficient because each OVPOSS molecule has eight reactive vinyl groups. The reactions complete within 10 min at 175 °C, and speed up with the increase in the content of DCP or OVPOSS. In the presence of 0.2 phr DCP, 0.5 wt% OVPOSS can effectively crosslink the composite sample with comparable properties to that with 2 phr DCP yet without OVPOSS. The obtained crosslinked LDPE should be suitable for high voltage cable materials. We believe that the approach using functional agents is powerful to crosslink or functionalize other polymers for special properties and applications.

Two novel hybrid porous polymers were easily prepared by the Friedel-Crafts reaction of octavinylsilsesquioxane with triphenylphosphine and triphenylphosphine oxide, respectively. They possessed unique bimodal pores with uniform micropores and mesopores centered at 1.5 nm and 3.7 nm, respectively, high surface areas up to 1105 m2 g-1, high thermal stability and an excellent size-selective adsorption for dyes. These hybrid porous polymers are very promising in dye separation, water purification and treatment.

The creation of porous materials with both good thermal insulation and flame retardancy is of great importance for construction of energy-saving coatings in many applications. Herein, we report the facile fabrication of octasilsesquioxane (POSS)-based monolithic nanoporous polymers (named as PDVB-POSS) by solvothermal method using octavinyl-POSS as monomer and divinylbenzene (DVB) as crosslinker followed by freeze drying. The as-prepared PDVB-POSS show abundant porosity with mesopore sizes ranging from 8 nm to 13 nm, which results in a high thermal insulation with a low thermal conductivity of 0.024 W m?1 k?1 in air. The PDVB-POSS also possesses excellent flame retardancy with a peak heat released rate (pHRR) of as low as 144 W g?1. Torch burn test implies that the PDVB-POSS shows self-extinguishing behaviors without generation of any melt dripping, further reflecting an excellent flame retardancy. Taking advantages of simple fabrication process, easily to be scaled-up, excellent thermal insulation and flame retardancy, such POSS-based monolithic porous polymers may have great potential as energy-saving coatings for real applications.

A treated substrate comprise a substrate, an adhesion promoter layer disposed on the substrate, and a topcoat layer disposed on the adhesion layer such that the adhesion layer is between the topcoat layer and the substrate. The adhesion promoter layer is formed from an adhesion promoter composition, with the adhesion promoter composition comprising a polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane or a linear organosilane polymer. The topcoat layer is formed from a topcoat composition, with the topcoat composition comprising at least one fluorinated organic silicon compound which contains no etheric oxygen atom and at least one fluorinated organic silicon compound which contains an etheric oxygen atom.
