Cover Story: Molecular fillers for lowering refractive indices and enhancing the thermal stability and rigidity of polymer films were designed based on polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS). By introducing two types of functional groups, such as fluoroalkyl and reactive groups, this trade-off relationship can be consistent. View this paper.
