About 57 % of the NH functionalities were active for reaction with epoxy groups. The multifunctional amine-POSS was used to modify an epoxy network obtained by the homopolymerization of diglycidylether of bisphenol A initiated by benzyldimethylamine. The main effect of POSS modification was an increase in both the glassy and rubbery modulus explained, respectively, by the increase in cohesive energy and crosslink densities.
