More Information
Summary:A polymeric network comprises a plurality of monomers that include a cage compound with at least three arms, wherein at least one of the arms has two or more branches, and wherein each of the branches further comprises a reactive group. Monomers in contemplated polymeric networks are covalently coupled to each other via the reactive groups. Particularly contemplated cage compounds include adamantane and diamantane, and especially contemplated branched arms comprise ortho-bis(phenylethynyl)phenyl. Especially contemplated polymeric networks have a dielectric constant of no more than 3.0, and are formed on the surface of a substrate.
