Patent ID: 8431670

Claim:
A composition of matter comprising: a silsesquioxane polymer consisting essentially of the four repeat units of the structural formulas (1), (2), (3), (4): wherein R 1 is selected from the group consisting of linear alkyl, branched alkyl, cycloalkyl, aromatic, arene and ester moieties; wherein R 2 is selected from the group consisting of vinyl, substituted-vinyl, acetylenic, substituted acetylenic and nitrile moieties; wherein R 3 is selected from the group consisting of linear alkyl, branched alkyl and cycloalkyl moieties; wherein R 4 is selected from the group consisting of linear alkoxy, branched alkoxy, cycloalkoxy, acetoxys, hydroxyl, silyloxy and silanol moieties; and wherein m, n, o, and p represent the mole percent (mol %) of repeating units with m+n+o+p equal to about 100 mol % and wherein when only three repeat units are present either o or p is zero.
