In this research, we aimed to develop the methodologies to produce elemental block polymers. As a model molecule of element block, a bifunctional POSS(Polyhedral Oligomeric SilSesquioxanes)molecule was focused. The polymerization methodologies to produce the series of necklace shaped element block polymers, in which a “hard and bulky” POSS unit and a “soft” oligo-dimethylsiloxane were alternately connected, have reported. In addition, the primary structure of the polymers was controlled precisely. Furthermore, the correlation between the necklace type polymer and basic polymer physical properties was investigated.
