An organic / inorganic hybrid copolymer was prepared with a bis ( cyclopentadienyl) zirconium dichloride ( Cp2ZrCl2 ) in conjunction with modified methylaluminoxane ( MMAO) cocatalyst. Two kinds of monovinyl substituted polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane(POSS) monomers were used to copolymerize with ethylene(E). The copolymers were characterized with 1H NMR, DSC, TGA and GPC to know the composition, thermal properties, molecular weight and its distribution, respectively. The comonomer content(POSS) was in the range of 0郾 01% —0郾 30% (molar fraction). With the increase of POSS content in copolymer, the melting temperature and heat of fusion decreased. Thermogravimetric analysis of E / POSS copolymers exhibited an improved thermal stability with a higher degradation temperature and char yields, demonstrating that the inclusion of inorganic POSS nanoparticles made the organic polymer matrix more thermal robust. Increasing the feed ratio of POSS, the molecular weight increased, while the molecular weight distribution broadened.
