Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of polymer materials technology, and in particular to a POSS-modified monomer, its preparation method, and its application as a coating material in flexible devices. Background Technology
[0002] Flexible optoelectronic devices, such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), have broken through the spatial limitations of traditional rigid electronic devices due to their ability to be bent, folded, or adhere to complex curved surfaces, demonstrating enormous application potential in emerging technology fields such as wearable devices and foldable displays. These devices are designed to be extremely thin and light to improve mechanical flexibility and compliance, thereby reducing the risk of functional failure caused by bending stress. However, this design strategy often sacrifices several important functions, including hydrophobicity, mechanical strength, and chemical resistance. Furthermore, the key materials of these flexible devices are often fragile, not only vulnerable to external mechanical damage but also highly sensitive to moisture and oxygen. Long-term exposure to corrosive environments can easily lead to irreversible chemical reactions such as oxidation and corrosion, resulting in performance degradation and even eventual device failure. An ideal protection strategy needs to be built from the interface layer where the device contacts the environment. This requires the outermost layer to not only act as a physical barrier against mechanical impact but also to simultaneously block environmental erosion such as water and oxygen. Therefore, developing an integrated multifunctional protective coating that combines high mechanical strength with environmental barrier efficiency is of great significance.
[0003] Currently, protective coatings for flexible devices are mainly divided into two categories, but both have performance bottlenecks. One category is based on inorganic materials, such as silicon oxide (SiO2) and silicon nitride (Si3N4). These materials have a highly dense, strongly bonded network structure, which can effectively resist external mechanical stress and block moisture and oxygen. However, their inherent rigidity makes them unable to withstand the stress generated during repeated bending or folding of flexible devices, and they are prone to microcracks or even peeling off the entire device surface. Moreover, the poor transparency of these materials also hinders their application in the optoelectronic display field. The other category is flexible layers based on organic materials, such as polyurethane (PU) and polyimide (PI). These materials have good flexibility and can adapt to complex bending or folding deformation requirements. However, due to their inherent molecular structure characteristics, such as the large free volume between chain segments and the weak interaction forces between molecular chains, they are difficult to form a dense barrier that prevents water vapor and oxygen from passing through.
[0004] Polysilsesquioxanes (POSS), as nanoscale "molecular building blocks," possess a rigid Si-O-Si inorganic core that provides excellent mechanical strength and chemical stability, while modifiable organic substituents on the cage can endow the material with flexibility and other customized functions. This makes it possible to resolve the inherent contradiction between hardness and flexibility at the molecular level. Although significant progress has been made in the research of POSS-based coatings that are both flexible and hard, studies that simultaneously possess excellent water and oxygen barrier properties are rarely reported. This phenomenon may be related to the fact that existing research mainly uses POSS mixture systems, and the uncertainty of the system structure and composition of this system can lead to performance mismatch. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a POSS-modified monomer whose coating possesses both high mechanical strength and environmental barrier efficiency.

[0136] Example 1
[0137] One embodiment of the POSS-modified monomer of the present invention, wherein the POSS-modified monomer described in this embodiment is named T8B. 6.4 SF 1.6 Its preparation method includes the following steps:
[0138] Step (1): Take benzocyclobutene-4-dimethylsilane (3.05 g, 18.8 mmol), octavinyl cage-type silsesquioxane (0.64 g, 1.00 mmol) and 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorodecyl mercaptan (SF, 0.87 g, 1.80 mmol) respectively;
[0139] Step (2): Under a nitrogen atmosphere, octavinylclade silsesquioxane was added to a 100 mL three-necked flask containing 20 mL of anhydrous DCM and stirred to dissolve. Then, 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorodecylthiol SF and photoinitiator 2,2-dimethoxy-2-phenylacetophenone (DMPA, 11.14 mg, 0.05 mmol) were added. After stirring at 25 °C for 10 min, the reaction was irradiated with a 365 nm UV lamp (50 W). 1 ¹H NMR was used to monitor the reaction progress by tracking the change in the peak integral area of vinyl hydrogen in T8V8. The photoreaction usually lasts 2-10 min. After the reaction, the UV lamp was turned off, and most of the DCM was removed by rotary evaporation. Then, excess cold methanol (30 mL) was added to the resulting viscous residue, and the product was allowed to precipitate completely with stirring. The waxy solid product was collected by vacuum filtration and washed with a small amount of cold methanol (3 × 5 mL). The collected waxy solid was dried in a vacuum oven at 40 °C for 24 h to obtain product T8V8. 6.4 SF 1.6 (1.34g, yield 95.6%) is the intermediate;
[0140] Step (3): The intermediate obtained in step (2) (2.63 g, 1.88 mmol) was placed in a dry 100 mL two-necked flask, and then nitrogen gas was purged three times. Under a nitrogen atmosphere, benzocyclobutene-4-dimethylsilicon Si-B (3.05 g, 18.8 mmol) and 45 mL of anhydrous toluene were added to the reaction flask in sequence, and the mixture was stirred immediately. After the reaction mixture was homogeneous, 0.01 mL of Karstedt catalyst (2 wt.%, xylene solution) was added dropwise through a microsyringe. The reaction system was then slowly heated to 80 °C and reacted for 12 h. After the reaction was completed, the reaction solution was cooled to 25 °C and concentrated by rotary evaporation. The crude product was purified by column chromatography (EA:HEX = 1:3). After concentration and drying, the final waxy solid T8B was obtained. 6.4 SF 1.6 (1.669g, yield 36.4%) is the POSS modified monomer of this embodiment.

[0144] One embodiment of the POSS-modified monomer of the present invention, wherein the POSS-modified monomer described in this embodiment is named T8B. 5.1 SF 2.9 The preparation method of the POSS modified monomer described in this embodiment differs from that in Example 1 only in that: the amount of SF in step (1) is adjusted to 1.45g, the amount of Si-B in step (1) is adjusted to 2.06g, the reaction system is slowly heated to 100℃ and reacted for 5h, and the ultraviolet lamp in step (1) is replaced with a 254nm (100W) irradiation lamp.
[0145] Example 4
[0146] Structural characterization of the POSS-modified monomer of the present invention
[0147] The POSS-modified monomer T8B of this invention x SF y The octavinyl cage-type silsesquioxane T8V8 was prepared by introducing functional substituents SF and Si-B onto the thiol-olefin click chemistry reaction and subsequent hydrosilylation reaction, respectively. Where x and y are respectively introduced via... 1 The area ratio of the hydrogen proton signal peaks of SF and Si-B obtained by H NMR, with x+y=8. The longer SF carbon-fluorine chain provides excellent hydrophobicity, but it has high repulsion with POSS. Photogenerated radical-mediated thiol-alkene reactions can efficiently and regioselectively construct carbon-sulfur (CS) single bonds. This process usually follows the anti-Markovnikov addition rule, thus ensuring the structural regularity of the product. For T8V8 with terminal alkenes, this is an ideal strategy for attaching fluorinated segments to the POSS cage.
[0148] To explore the optimal combination of hydrophobicity, mechanical properties, and stability, this example prepared T8V with different molar amounts of SF. x SF y And the T8V obtained with different SF molar amounts... x SF y The proton and fluorine NMR spectra were performed, and the results are attached. Figure 3 As shown.
[0149] From the appendix Figure 3 As shown in a and b, with the increase of SF molar amount, the area of the hydrogen characteristic peak (5.75-6.25 ppm) of vinyl groups in T8V8 gradually decreases, while the area of the hydrogen on the methylene group (2.25-3.30 ppm) in SF gradually increases. Meanwhile, all T8V... x SF y Fluorine atom signal peaks of SF were observed in the fluorine spectra of all samples, indicating that SF was precisely introduced into the POSS cage.
[0150] On the other hand, Si-B units were also introduced onto the POSS cage via a hydrosilylation reaction. Si-B was chosen as another functional substituent because its benzocyclobutene unit can be thermally activated to form the active intermediate o-quinodimethane. Under thermal action, this intermediate can further self-polymerize to form dimers or polymers without producing any small molecule byproducts, resulting in a resin with advantages such as high thermal stability, mechanical properties, and low water absorption. To ensure T8V... x SF y The remaining vinyl groups were entirely replaced by Si-B, therefore an excess of Si-B was added. T8V was used for different SF molar amounts. x SF y T8B with different x and y values were prepared respectively. x SF y The proton and silicon nuclear magnetic resonance spectra were also performed, and the results are attached. Figure 4 As shown.
[0151] From the appendix Figure 4 As can be seen from 'a' and 'b', it belongs to T8V. x SF y The peak of the vinyl group completely disappeared, while the characteristic peak of the hydrogen atom of the benzene ring in Si-B appeared in the range of 7.01-7.40 ppm, and the characteristic peak of the hydrogen atom of the four-membered ring in Si-B appeared at 3.16 ppm. Based on the ratio of the characteristic peak area of the hydrogen atom on the methylene group in SF to that of the hydrogen atom in the four-membered ring in Si-B, the SF:Si-B ratios can be obtained as 6.4:1.6, 5.5:2.5, and 5.1:2.9, thus determining the prepared T8B. x SF y The chemical formula is T8V 6.4 SF 1.6 T8V 5.5 SF 2.5 and T8V 5.1 SF 2.9Furthermore, all T8BxSFy silicon spectra exhibited two silicon atom signal peaks at -0.67 ppm and -66.41 ppm. The former is attributed to silicon atoms in Si-B, while the latter is a silicon atom signal peak in the cage-like POSS framework of the T8 structure. Figure 4 (b) This demonstrates that introducing functional substituents SF and Si-B onto the POSS cage of T8V8 via thiol-olefin and hydrosilylation reactions does not disrupt the configuration of the Si-O-Si framework and cage.
[0152] Example 5
[0153] Physical morphology of the POSS-modified monomer of the present invention
[0154] The physical morphologies of the starting material, octavinyl cage-type silsesquioxane T8V8, and the product after chemical modification to introduce long-chain SF groups and Si-B groups were observed respectively. The results are attached. Figure 5 As shown.
[0155] From the appendix Figure 5 It can be seen that the aggregation states of these series of products exhibit significant differences: the starting material T8V8 is a solid powder, while the physical morphology of the products undergoes a significant change after chemical modification to introduce long-chain SF groups and Si-B groups. Specifically, T8B... 6.4 SF 1.6 It appears as a hard, waxy solid, T8B 5.5 SF 2.5 It is a soft, waxy solid, while T8B 5.1 SF 2.9 It then transforms into a viscous liquid. This transformation from a solid to a waxy and liquid state is because SF and Si-B disrupt the interactions between POSS cages, and the high content of long carbon fluorine chains makes it easier to interfere with the orderly stacking of molecular chains.
[0156] Example 6
[0157] Thermal performance test of the POSS modified monomer of the present invention
[0158] T8B was revealed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). x SF y The thermal properties of the series of compounds are presented in the form of heat flow-temperature curves, and the results are attached. Figure 6 As shown.
[0159] From the appendix Figure 6 It can be seen that T8B has a waxy appearance. 6.4 SF 1.6 and T8B 5.5 SF 2.5 All exhibited a clear endothermic melting peak (T) during the heating process.m The melting points of these compounds are 59.6 °C and 70.9 °C, respectively. Furthermore, these compounds containing Si-B groups exhibit similar exothermic curing behavior at higher temperatures: their exothermic reaction initiation temperature (T0) is [not specified]. onset The temperature range is between 197.3 and 200.3℃, while the peak exothermic temperature (T) is... peak The temperature range is 244.4-248.8℃. This exothermic behavior originates from the formation of highly reactive o-quinodimethane intermediates from the highly strained four-membered rings in the Si-B groups at high temperatures. These intermediates then couple with each other to form a highly cross-linked, dense network structure, releasing a large amount of heat. T8B, with the highest Si-B group content... 6.4 SF 1.6 It exhibits the largest exothermic enthalpy of the curing reaction, at 300.2 kJ / mol, T8B 5.5 SF 2.5 and T8B 5.1 SF 2.9 The exothermic enthalpies are 255.3 kJ / mol and 243.5 kJ / mol, respectively, and their exothermic enthalpy ratio is approximately 6.4:5.5:5.1, which is similar to T8V. 6.4 SF 1.6 T8V 5.5 SF 2.5 and T8V 5.1 SF 2.9 The stoichiometric trends of the Si-B groups in the middle are basically consistent.

[0163] Quartz plates, which had been sequentially cleaned in deionized water, acetone, ethanol, and IPA, were treated with oxygen plasma for 2 minutes. Then, T8B dissolved in DCM was... 6.4 SF 1.6 Solution (200 mg / mL), T8B dissolved in DCM 5.5 SF 2.5 Solution (200 mg / mL), T8B dissolved in DCM 5.1 SF 2.9The solution (200 mg / mL) was evenly coated onto the quartz plates.

[0169] The coating C-T8B prepared in Example 7 was tested separately. 6.4 SF 1.6 C-T8B 5.5 SF 2.5 and C-T8B 5.1 SF 2.9 XPS spectra, SEM-EDS images, and the ratio of F to Si elemental content at different depths are shown in the attached figures. Figure 9 As shown.
[0170] X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) revealed the chemical composition of the three coating surfaces in the ~10 nm range. For example... Figure 9 As shown in Figure a, O was clearly observed on all coated surfaces. KLL (978.4eV)F KLL (833.6eV), F 1s (688.8eV), O 1s (532.0eV), C 1s (284.0eV)Si 2s (152.8eV) and Si 2p Characteristic peaks such as (101.6 eV) confirm that they have the same elemental composition. The C-T8B composition can be calculated by analyzing the areas of the characteristic peaks of each element and combining them with the corresponding atomic sensitivity factors. x SF y The F / Si elemental ratio on the surface of the series of coatings is significantly higher than its theoretical (bulk) stoichiometric ratio. Figure 9 (b) Figure 8The scanning electron microscope (SEM) image in c shows that C-T8B x SF y No macroscopic phase separation was observed on the surface of the series of coatings, but C-T8B 6.4 SF 1.6 C-T8B 5.5 SF 2.5 and C-T8B 5.1 SF 2.9 The surface smoothness decreases sequentially. The corresponding energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) shows a uniform distribution of Si, S, F, O, and C elements within 1–3 μm of their surfaces. Figure 9 c, illustration), but the F / Si elemental ratio is higher than in the bulk, but lower than that measured by XPS ( Figure 9 b). These results strongly suggest that SF segments with low surface energy tend to migrate to the coating-air interface and achieve enrichment there through specific orientation.
[0171] Example 9
[0172] To further explore C-T8B x SF y The microstructure and elemental distribution characteristics of the series of coatings at the nanoscale are analyzed in this example. The coating C-T8B prepared in Example 7 is analyzed separately. 6.4 SF 1.6 C-T8B 5.5 SF 2.5 and C-T8B 5.1 SF 2.9 High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and its accompanying energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) were performed, and the results are attached. Figure 10 As shown.
[0173] From the appendix Figure 10 It can be seen that C-T8B 6.4 SF 1.6 C-T8B 5.5 SF 2.5 and C-T8B 5.1 SF 2.9 The HRTEM images all showed uniform contrast, with no lattice fringes or obvious domain structures observed, indicating that the bulk of these organic-inorganic hybrid materials is amorphous. This is strongly confirmed by their selected area electron diffraction (SAED) patterns. Figure 10(Illustration). SAED patterns of all samples exhibit typical diffuse diffraction rings, rather than discrete diffraction spots representing a crystal structure. This amorphous structure is crucial for achieving high optical transparency, as it effectively avoids light scattering caused by grain boundaries. Combined EDX elemental surface scan results further reveal the spatial distribution of key elements at the nanoscale. It can be clearly observed that fluorine (F) (purple) and sulfur (S) (yellow), representing fluoroalkyl segments, highly overlap in spatial distribution, confirming their common origin from SF functional groups. Furthermore, silicon (Si) (cyan), representing the POSS inorganic core, exhibits a uniform and dense distribution throughout the entire observation area of all samples. These results collectively indicate that C-T8B... x SF y The series of coatings successfully formed a highly uniform, molecular-level organic-inorganic hybrid network structure, without any macroscopic or microscopic agglomeration caused by component incompatibility.

[0175] C-T8B obtained by preparing POSS-modified monomers according to the present invention x SF y Optical performance test of coating
[0176] The coating C-T8B formed on the quartz substrate in Example 7. 6.4 SF 1.6 C-T8B 5.5 SF 2.5 and C-T8B 5.1 SF 2.9 Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy was performed, and the results are attached. Figure 11 As shown.
[0177] From the appendix Figure 11 It can be seen that, across the entire visible light range (400-800nm), all C-T8B... x SF y All coatings exhibited excellent high transparency. However, detailed comparison revealed a clear negative correlation between the optical transmittance of the coating and the SF content in its chemical composition. Specifically, as the SF segment content increased, the overall transmittance of the coating gradually decreased, as seen in C-T8B. 6.4 SF 1.6 C-T8B 5.5 SF 2.5 and C-T8B 5.1 SF 2.9 The coating at 550nm (T 550 nmThe transmittances of the three components were 94.7%, 92.6%, and 91.4%, respectively. The slight decrease in transmittance may stem from two factors. First, with the increase in the proportion of the high-refractive-index SF component, the refractive index of the coating decreased from 1.41 (C-T8B). 6.4 SF 1.6 Systematically increase by 1.48 (C-T8B) 5.5 SF 2.5 ) and 1.51(C-T8B 5.1 SF 2.9 According to Fresnel's law, the greater the difference in refractive index between the coating and air (n≈1.0), the stronger the light reflection from its surface, leading to a corresponding decrease in total transmittance. Secondly, higher SF content results in increased surface roughness and more significant micro-phase separation, leading to increased light scattering at these inhomogeneous interfaces. Nevertheless, even the C-T8B with the weakest optical performance... 5.1 SF 2.9 The coating's transmittance remains comparable to that of commercially available cover materials (CPI < 90.0%), indicating that C-T8B... x SF y All coatings in this series can meet the application requirements for high transparency.
[0178] High optical transmittance of the protective coating within the device's operating wavelength range is crucial, as it directly determines the number of photons that can effectively enter or exit the device, thus profoundly affecting the overall efficiency and performance of the device. For example, in organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays, high transmittance ensures that light generated by the emissive layer can pass through the cover glass with minimal loss, ultimately resulting in higher brightness and better energy efficiency. Typically, light absorption and scattering within a material are the two main factors affecting its transparency. C-T8B x SF y The series of coatings exhibit weak absorption in the visible light region. Meanwhile, their molecular-level organic-inorganic hybrid network and the amorphous morphology formed after curing can theoretically effectively suppress light scattering caused by inhomogeneous structures, thus possessing the potential to prepare highly transparent coatings.

[0180] C-T8B obtained by preparing POSS-modified monomers according to the present invention x SF y Mechanical property testing of coating
[0181] The coating C-T8B formed on the quartz substrate in Example 7. 6.4 SF 1.6 C-T8B 5.5 SF 2.5 and C-T8B 5.1SF 2.9 Nanoindentation experiments were conducted, and the results are attached. Figure 12 As shown in Table 2.
[0182] In this embodiment, a series of nanoindentation experiments were conducted based on the Oliver-Pharr method. The Berkovich indenter was used to load the samples, and the load-displacement curve for each sample included three typical stages: loading, holding, and unloading (see attached diagram). Figure 12 (a and b) Under the same indentation depth, C-T8B 6.4 SF 1.6 The coating requires the highest load, indicating its highest hardness. Furthermore, after the load is released, C-T8B... 6.4 SF 1.6 The coating exhibits the least hysteresis in its load-displacement curve, indicating that it also has the best resilience. Figure 12 C-T8B was obtained through nanoindentation testing. x SF y Indentation hardness (H) and effective Young's modulus (E) of the series coatings * In these coatings, C-T8B 6.4 SF 1.6 The coating exhibits the highest hardness (H = 0.17 GPa) and a modulus (E) similar to that of high-performance polymers. * =2.90 GPa).
[0183] In addition, Table 2 summarizes the C-T8B obtained through calculation. x SF y Elastic recovery rate (W) of the series coatings e ) and hardness / effective Young's modulus ratio (H / E) * Two key parameters. W e The hysteresis loop area in the load-displacement curve characterizes the material's ability to recover elastic deformation after load removal.

These coatings were compared with common engineering materials, including organic polymers (PC, PMMA, and PP) and metals (Ni, Ti, and Cu). Figure 12 (d). Obviously, C-T8B 6.4 SF 1.6 The coating exhibits significant advantages, suggesting that it may balance the inherent contradiction between hardness and flexibility.

[0187] Note: The data in Table 2 are the average of three measurements.
[0188] An ideal protective coating for transparent optoelectronic devices should simultaneously possess the high hardness of glass (to resist scratches and abrasion), the excellent flexibility of polymers (to accommodate deformation and impact), high resilience (to recover from deformation), and a relatively low elastic modulus (to be compatible with flexible substrates and reduce stress), thereby ensuring stable device operation under various operating conditions. The above results show that the C-T8B prepared from the POSS-modified monomer of this invention… x SF y The coating has good overall mechanical properties.
[0189] Example 12
[0190] C-T8B obtained by preparing POSS-modified monomers according to the present invention x SF y Abrasion resistance test of coating
[0191] As one of the service characteristics of a coating, wear resistance is directly related to the service life, performance stability, and safety of the protected object. This example compares the C-T8B coating prepared in Example 7. 6.4 SF 1.6 C-T8B 5.5 SF 2.5 and C-T8B 5.1 SF 2.9 A steel wool abrasion test (10.0 kPa) was conducted to examine the wear resistance characteristics of each coating. The test results are attached. Figure 13 As shown.
[0192] like Figure 13 As shown in Figure b, after 500 friction cycles (1000 cycles), C-T8B 5.1 SF 2.9 The coating surface is covered with numerous clearly visible scratches, C-T8B 5.5 SF 2.5A small number of wear marks were also observed on the coating surface. Surprisingly, C-T8B 6.4 SF 1.6 The coating surface showed almost no damage under the same wear conditions, and its ultraviolet light transmittance was not affected by friction. Figure 13 (b and c). In contrast, after continuous wear, C-T8B 5.5 SF 2.5 and C-T8B 5.1 SF 2.9 White debris caused by friction appeared on the coating surface, resulting in a significant decrease in its ultraviolet light transmittance. Figure 13 (c) These phenomena strongly confirm C-T8B. 6.4 SF 1.6 The coating exhibits superior wear resistance. Generally, there is a positive correlation between the hardness of a material and its wear resistance, and in some cases, this can manifest as a strong linear relationship, as observed in C-T8B. 6.4 SF 1.6 The high hardness is consistent with the result of high wear resistance.
[0193] Figure 13 The middle section shows the C-T8B. x SF y AFM modulus maps of a series of coatings are presented, visually reflecting the nanoscale elastic modulus distribution on the material surface through color variations. Although no large-scale, significant modulus abrupt changes or discontinuous regions are observed in the modulus distribution of each coating, the surface modulus of the material decreases with increasing SF content, evolving from a dense, broadly high-modulus region to a coarse-grained, inhomogeneous modulus domain.
[0194] Theoretically, a uniform and dense modulus distribution network is beneficial for achieving more uniform internal stress dispersion under external forces. This structural characteristic allows the material to maintain high surface hardness while also possessing excellent toughness. The coating C-T8B prepared in Example 7 was compared with this. 6.4 SF 1.6 C-T8B 5.5 SF 2.5 and C-T8B 5.1 SF 2.9 The pen's hardness and flexibility were tested, and the results are attached. Figure 14 As shown.
[0195] From the appendix Figure 14 It can be seen that only C-T8B 6.4 SF 1.6 The coating can withstand the scratches of a 9H pencil without damage, compared to a C-T8B of the same thickness. 5.5 SF 2.5 and C-T8B5.1 SF 2.9 The pencil hardness of the coating is only 7H and 5H respectively. Figure 14 (a)
[0196] In addition, C-T8B 6.4 SF 1.6 When applied to CPI, it can be bent into various complex shapes and will not break even when lifted with a 500g weight, demonstrating its excellent flexibility and mechanical strength. Figure 14 (b) These experimental results also demonstrate that C-T8B 6.4 SF 1.6 The optimal ratio of soft to hard components and the appropriate crosslinking density combine to create a coating that possesses the high hardness of glass, the excellent flexibility of polymers, and outstanding elastic recovery, making it a potential protective coating for flexible transparent devices.

[0199] In this embodiment, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was used to analyze C-T8B. x SF y The thermal decomposition behavior of the series of coatings under a nitrogen atmosphere was characterized, with the C-T8B coating prepared in Example 7 being the test subject. 6.4 SF 1.6 C-T8B 5.5 SF 2.5 and C-T8B 5.1 SF 2.9 The test results are attached. Figure 15 As shown in Table 3 below.

[0202] Note a) Measurement under nitrogen atmosphere; T d5 % and T d10 The percentages represent the temperatures at which 5% and 10% of the mass is lost in heat, respectively.
[0203] From the appendix Figure 15 As shown in Table 3, when the SF content increases, the relative proportions of high-temperature resistant inorganic components and rigid aromatic ring structures in the entire system decrease, leading to a reduction in the residual mass after high-temperature decomposition. (C-T8B)6.4 SF 1.6 Coating heat loss 5% (T d5 %) and 10% (T) d10 The highest temperatures were reached at (%) mass, at 466.8℃ and 523.2℃, respectively. Although C-T8B had the highest SF content... 5.1 SF 2.9 It has the lowest thermal stability, but its T d5 The thermal stability remains as high as 408.6℃. This level of thermal stability is not only comparable to high-performance colorless polyimide (CPI) materials, but also fully meets the heat resistance requirements of foldable covers in practical applications. Because the cover differs from substrates or active layers that require high-temperature processes, its service environment typically does not involve such extreme high temperatures. Therefore, the C-T8B prepared in this study can be considered... x SF y All coatings in the series possess the thermal stability required for use as flexible display cover plates.
[0204] Furthermore, through detailed comparison of TGA spectra of coatings with different components, we found that the thermal stability of the coating is closely related to the content of fluoroalkyl chains (SF) in its chemical composition. With the increase of SF segment content, the final residue content of the coating at high temperatures gradually decreases. This phenomenon is reasonable because SF segments are mainly non-crosslinked organic components, and their thermal stability is lower than that of the inorganic Si-O-Si cage-like core and the rigid Si-B structure formed after crosslinking.
[0205] Example 14
[0206] C-T8B obtained by preparing POSS-modified monomers according to the present invention x SF y Water and oxygen barrier properties of the coating
[0207] Optoelectronic materials, such as solar cells (OSCs), organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), or optical sensors, are extremely sensitive to moisture. Water absorption can lead to a rapid decline in material performance or even complete failure. Coatings with water-barrier properties are crucial for maintaining the long-term stable and reliable operation of optoelectronic devices.
[0208] To evaluate the C-T8B obtained from the preparation of the POSS-modified monomer of this invention x SF y The water-blocking performance of the coating is demonstrated in this example using the C-T8B coating prepared in Example 7. 6.4 SF 1.6 C-T8B 5.5 SF 2.5 and C-T8B 5.1 SF 2.9The membrane, used as the experimental subject, was immersed in water along with a CPI membrane used as a reference, and the water absorption rate was continuously monitored at different time points. The results are attached. Figure 16 As shown.
[0209] From the appendix Figure 16 As can be seen from Figure a, the water absorption rate of all samples increases with the extension of soaking time. However, the difference lies in the saturated water absorption rate of the CPI membrane, which is C-T8B. x SF y More than ten times that of a series of coatings. The difference in hydrophobicity of the material surfaces is a significant reason for this phenomenon (e.g., Figure 16 b): C-T8B x SF y The series of coatings exhibits excellent hydrophobicity, with a water contact angle (WCA) between 104.5° and 106.5°, significantly higher than the 89.0° of the CPI film. This makes it difficult for water droplets to spread and wet their surface. Additionally, C-T8B... x SF y The highly dense three-dimensional cross-linked network inside the series of coatings can reduce the free volume, thereby hindering the diffusion and penetration of water molecules in the material bulk, and thus further reducing the water absorption rate.
[0210] Interestingly, despite C-T8B 6.4 SF 1.6 C-T8B 5.5 SF 2.5 and C-T8B 5.1 SF 2.9 The coatings contained varying amounts of SF segments, but their hydrophobicity and water absorption (both <0.2%) showed no significant differences. AFM surface phase diagrams revealed that this difference was likely due to the different microstructures formed by the SF enriched on the coating surface. Figure 16 In the middle c, it can be clearly observed that C-T8B has the lowest SF content. 6.4 SF 1.6 The coating surface exhibits the smallest phase separation scale; in contrast, with increasing SF content, C-T8B... 5.5 SF 2.5 and C-T8B 5.1 SF 2.9 The phase separation scale on the coating surface shows a gradually increasing trend. Combined with XPS and EDS elemental distribution data and AFM modulus plots, we can reasonably infer the specific arrangement of SF segments on different coating surfaces. Figure 16 (d) C-T8B 6.4 SF 1.6 The small number of SF chains in the coating may preferentially adopt an alternating dispersed arrangement, while in C-T8B 5.5 SF 2.5 and C-T8B5.1 SF 2.9 In the coating, the numerous SF segments are more likely to self-aggregate on the surface, forming larger-scale SF-rich domain regions. These different surface nanostructures can effectively construct a highly efficient hydrophobic barrier on the outermost layer of the coating, thus endowing the material with excellent overall water-blocking properties.
[0211] Considering that excessive SF chains can damage C-T8B x SF y The series of coatings does not significantly improve the mechanical properties (hardness and abrasion resistance), thermal properties, or optical properties of the coating, nor does it significantly improve the hydrophobic properties of the coating. Therefore, C-T8B... 6.4 SF 1.6 The coating is considered the most suitable candidate for multi-functionality. It exhibits excellent adhesion to a variety of substrates, including metallic copper (Cu), as well as inorganic glass and organic polymer CPI substrates pretreated with O2 plasma.
[0212] The POSS-modified monomers prepared in Example 1 were coated onto Cu glass and CPI substrates according to the method in Example 7. The interfacial bonding strength and water-oxygen barrier effect of the POSS-modified monomers coated on different substrates were investigated. Simultaneously, the T8-H8 cage (with eight silicon vertices replaced by hydrogen atoms) was used as a molecular insertion model to study the effects of O2 and H2O on the geometry of the T8-POSS cage. The results are attached. Figure 17 As shown.
[0213] From the appendix Figure 17 As can be seen from a, C-T8B 6.4 SF 1.6 A very strong interfacial bond was formed between the coating and the O2 plasma-treated CPI substrate, with an adhesion strength as high as 11 MPa. Analysis suggests that although O2 plasma treatment introduces a large number of oxygen-containing polar groups (e.g., -OH) onto the substrate surface (such as CPI), these groups can interact with C-T8B... 6.4 SF 1.6 The Si-O-Si framework in the coating forms hydrogen bonds, which improves interfacial adhesion to some extent, but this is not the decisive factor in achieving such high bonding strength. AFM morphology images show that the CPI film surface treated with O2 plasma exhibits a significantly rough, porous structure at the nanoscale. We infer that T8B... 6.4 SF 1.6 The solution penetrates and fills these pores and depressions, and then solidifies in situ during subsequent heat treatment, forming a strong interlock with the CPI substrate, known as the "riveting effect." This physical anchoring is what makes C-T8B so special. 6.4 SF 1.6 The coating is the primary source of the excellent interfacial bonding strength between the coating and the treated CPI substrate.
[0214] The water and oxygen barrier effect of coating the POSS-modified monomer prepared in Example 1 onto the CPI substrate according to the method in Example 7 is shown in the attached figure. Figure 17 As shown in b, by Figure 17 As can be seen in b, compared to the uncoated bare CPI substrate, the C-T8B coated substrate... 6.4 SF 1.6 The CPI sample exhibited significantly improved water and oxygen barrier properties. Specifically, its water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) increased from 8 g / m² of the bare CPI. -2 day -1 Significantly reduced to 0.25gm -2 day -1 At the same time, the oxygen permeability (OTR) also increased from 230 cm⁻¹ 3 m -2 day - 1 atm -1 Significantly reduced to 0.6cm 3 m -2 day -1 atm -1 On the one hand, the dense organic cross-linked network formed by the thermosetting of Si-B groups can hinder gas permeation, while the hydrophobic SF alkyl chains enhance the repulsion of water molecules. On the other hand, C-T8B with a D4 symmetry plane... 6.4 SF 1.6 The inorganic cage of the coating cannot become a channel for the permeation of O2 and H2O molecules, which can be proven by density functional theory (DFT).
[0215] Meanwhile, in this embodiment, a T8H8 cage (where the eight vertices of silicon are replaced by hydrogen atoms) was selected as the molecular insertion model to study the effects of O2 and H2O on the geometry of the T8-POSS cage, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 17 As shown in Figure c, this figure shows that, for the O2 molecule, it causes the Si(1)-O(1) bond distance to increase from that in isolated POSS. Increase to To increase the size of the cage; since the OH bond is weaker than the O=O bond, H2O makes the increase in Si-O bond distance in isolated POSS slightly lower than that of O2, for In addition, O2 increases the Si(1)-O(1)-Si(1') bond angle of the T8-POSS cage from 147.62° to 150.90°, while H2O increases it to an even greater 152.54°. This is because O2 and H2O have different polarities, resulting in different interactions with the POSS cage, indicating that their entry would cause significant distortion of the cage's geometry. However, the T8-POSS cage has a stable geometry, making this situation highly unlikely.
[0216] Additionally, as attached Figure 17 As shown in Figure d, this embodiment investigated the energy distribution when O2 and H2O were partially inserted into the D4 face of the T8-POSS cage. The energy barrier for O2 partial insertion was higher than that for H2O, which is related to their insertion angle, but the energy barriers that needed to be overcome were both >10.00 kcal / mol. -1 This indicates that they would encounter significant resistance when entering the POSS cage.

Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
