This new polyphosphazene is a hybrid organic–inorganic polymer that possesses a backbone of alternating phosphorus and nitrogen atoms and two side-chain-tethered POSS pendant units as inorganic parts. The incorporation of POSS units into the side chain of polyphosphazene improves the thermal stability of polyphosphazene-POSS because of the filler effect, and removes the crystallinity of polyphosphazene-POSS because of the bulk and large volume of the POSS units. Polyphosphazene-POSS shows high storage stability against gelation compared with polyphosphazene-Cl.
