Silsesquioxane amphiphile

Perfluoroalkyl groups are also introduced into block copolymers with methacrylates, acrylates, and styrene (B-46 to B-53), which can be synthesized in scCC>2 or in the bulk.95,315 Amphiphilic block copolymers based on glycopolymer segments (B-54 and B-55) are synthesized by copper-catalyzed polymerizations.321,322 Comonomers with a polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane unit afforded hybrid polymers between organic and inorganic components (B-56 and B-57).326... 

Mesoporous organosilicates are synthesized using similar self-assembly approaches as pure silica meso-phases the main difference being the silicon-containing precursors that consist of bridged silsesquioxanes, (RO)3Si-R -Si(OR)3. Different types of amphiphile molecules, including cationic (alkyltrimethylammonium),...
