Polymeric microcellular foams with high strength and light weight are very important for industrial applications. However, regulating their cell structure and their weak flame retardancy are problematic. We designed single-arm POSS-based ionic liquids ([bel-POSS][PF 6 ]), and constructed hybrid composites based on physical interaction between ionic liquids and carbon-based materials in PS microcellular foaming. Ionization of bel-POSS could result in a quaternary ammonium reaction and ion-exchange reaction, and the carbon materials exhibit good dispersion through blending. The prepared hybrid composites showed high CO 2 adsorption. Conical calorimeter tests showed that PS composite materials could reduce the heat release rate, total heat release, toxic gases (CO 2 and CO) release, and amount of smoke generated. These carbon materials could affect PS micropore structure, including the cell diameter and density. Upon addition of 5 wt% of carbon materials, the hole diameter decreased by &gt;50%, and the hole density increased nearly ten folds.
