Octaphenylcyclotetrasiloxane (OP-PS for short) is an organosilicon compound with strong aggregation and highly ordered spatial arrangement structure, so it has a wide range of applications in the field of polymer materials. The following are some applications of OP-PS in the field of polymer materials:

Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE): OP-PS can be used as a crosslinking agent for TPE to enhance the strength and hardness of TPE.

Filling reinforcement: OP-PS can be mixed with other fillers such as nanoparticles to prepare high-performance composite materials.

High-performance polymer: Introducing OP-PS into the polymer system can improve the thermal stability and mechanical properties of the polymer.

Coatings and adhesives: OP-PS can be used as an additive to polymer coatings and adhesives to increase its adhesion and hydrolysis resistance.

Nano-optical materials: OP-PS can be used as the basic material of nano-optical materials to prepare smart materials with optical response properties.

In general, OP-PS has great application potential in the field of polymer materials and can be used to prepare high-performance new materials.
