Description
AL0125 is a hybrid molecule with an inorganic silsesquioxane at the core, organic isobutyl groups attached at seven corners of the cage and a trans-cyclohexane diol group on the eighth corner. It is very useful as a monomer in condensation polymerization chemistry to increase strength, toughness and the HDT by limiting chain motion.
