  • Chapter
  • First Online:
New Polymeric Materials Based on Element-Blocks

Abstract

Much attention in scientific community in silsesquioxanes (SSQs) during the recent years has been attracted by the design of hierarchical structure and hybrid composite. The wide variety of SSQ materials with hierarchical morphology including core/shell, hollow, yolk-shell, nanorod and so on have been developed. The present chapter demonstrates the most recent progress made in the design of this morphology by utilizing different preparation methods such as sol-gel, in situ polymerization, electrospinning, etc. In this chapter, special attention is paid to the fabrication and application of the silsesquioxane hybrid composite. The interest in the hybrid nanocomposite is illustrated by a large variety of hybrid materials including polymers, silica, carbon materials, noble metals, and quantum dots.
