Abstract

This study reports polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS)-based hybrid fibers of architectural hierarchy and compositional heterogeneity. The kinetic arrest of substantial POSS content in the fibers was attributed to rapid solvent evaporation that retarded the phase separation of liquid jet. It provides new insight into the design of novel heterogeneous materials.
