Abstract
A novel POSS monomer design has been proposed; a closed-cage POSS was tethered to an open-cage POSS, and the remaining two functional groups were employed for polymerization. The thermal and optical properties of the obtained main-chain type POSS polymers can be widely tuned by the substituents at the corners of the POSSs.
