Hybrid Plastics Isooctyl POSS Cage Mixture MS0805

MS0805 is a hybrid molecule with an inorganic silsesquioxane at the core and inorganic isooctyl groups attached at the corners of the cage. This rigid core acts like molecular ball bearing providing high film strength to reduce friction and wear. MS0805 is very stable even at high loadings and temperatures. It is also useful in thermoplastics reinforcement and as a porogen in biominimetic materials.
