A silsesquioxane cage structure has a general formula [R
1
SiO
1.5
]
n
, wherein, n is an integer greater than or equal to 4; each R
1
is an amine-functional siloxy group, a quaternary ammonium-functional siloxy group, or a texturizing moiety. At least one R
1
group may optionally be a quaternary ammonium-functional siloxy group. Compositions may be prepared from polymers and the silsesquioxane compounds.
