Versatile grafting approaches to star-shaped POSS-containing hybrid polymers using RAFT polymerization and click chemistry.

An alkyne-bearing polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) core was used to prepare POSS-containing polymer hybrids using 'grafting to' or 'grafting from' strategies in combination with reversible chain transfer and click chemistry. This journal is © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2011
