Method of forming a polyurethane material with a metallized polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane compound

A reactive composition, said reactive composition comprises

• at least one isocyanate;
• at least one isocyanate reactive compound;
• a metallized polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane wherein the metallized polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane is different from the at least one isocyanate reactive compound;
• wherein said metallized polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane is a dimeric structure with general formula
• wherein
• M1 and M2 represent a metal providing a 6-coordinated metal center;
• x=1,
• y=1;
• R1O and R2O each independently represent an alkoxide bridging said 6-coordinated metal centers;
• R3OH and R4OH each independently represent an alcohol ligand
• Each of R5, R6, R7, R8, R9, R10, R11, R12, R13, R14, R15, R16, R17, R18 is selected from the group consisting of alkyl ligands.
