title = "Viscoelastic properties and residual stresses in polyhedral oligomeric silsequioxane (POSS)-reinforced epoxy",
abstract = "This paper reports the viscoelastic properties and residual stresses of fully cured epoxy/polyhedral oligomeric silsequioxane (POSS) nanocomposites to be used in fiber-reinforced composites having mitigated residual stress. The epoxy-functionalized POSS molecule is used in the composite systems providing an interlayer with tailored characteristics. The effect of POSS loading on the viscoelastic properties of the epoxy/POSS composites is investigated upon shear stress relaxation and dynamic measurements. The glass transition temperature, glassy coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of epoxy/POSS nanocomposites, and the β-relaxation of epoxy matrix as a function of POSS content are also examined.",
