Abstract:
1. A method of alloying polymers comprising: (a) reactively grafting a first nanostructured chemical selected from the group consisting of POSS and POS into a polymer selected from the group consisting of silicones, polystyrenes, polyolefins, polyesters, polyamides, polycarbonates, and acrylics, by reacting the first nanostructured chemical to the backbone of the polymer to create a grafted polymer; and (b) alloying a second nanostructured chemical selected from the group consisting of nonreactive POSS and POS into the grafted polymer by non-covalently compounding the second nanostructured chemical into the grafted polymer by nonreactive blending.
