The thermal pressure coefficients of a neat, unfilled, epoxy resin and a 10 wt % POSS (polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane)‐filled epoxy nanocomposite have been measured using a thick‐walled tube method. It is found that just below the glass transition temperature the thermal pressure coefficient is ∼ 20% smaller for the polymer composite containing 10% POSS than for the neat, unfilled resin. The thermal expansion coefficient and thermal pressure coefficient of the uncured POSS itself are also reported. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2010
