Polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS)-based multifunctional organic-silica hybrid monoliths.

A facile polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS)-based hybrid monolith with multiple mechanisms was developed by an in situ polymerization. High mechanical stability and good separation capabilities to polar and hydrophobic analytes were successfully achieved. An ideal versatile organic–silica hybrid monolith was presented for easy access to the efficient separation of various analytes.
