The flame retardancy and thermal stability of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) nanocomposites are reviewed. Results are summarized and compared on the basis of structureproperty relationships. Because of the variability of groups attached on POSS, they exhibit different performance in polymer nanocomposites: metal-containing POSS show good catalytic charring ability; vinyl-containing and phenyl-containing POSS promote the strength of char. Improvements in the cone calorimeter (such as reduced peak heat release rate) are advantages of POSS as preceramics for fire retardancy compared with traditional flame retardants, and it will pave the way to the design of inorganicorganic hybrid polymer nanocomposites with enhanced flame retardancy and thermal stability.
