Octakis(3-methacryloxypropyl)octasilsesquioxane

Polyhedral oligosilsesquioxanes are a class of versatile building blocks for the production of inorganic–organic hybrid materials with designed properties due to the three-dimensional highly symmetrical nature of the core. They have shown a great potential for many applications such as electronics, optics, surface-modified supports, catalyst, dendrimers, biocompatible materials, liquids crystals and OLEDs.
