Hybrid Materials Based on Sequential Semi-Interpenetrating Polymer Networks

Abstract

Peculiarities of formation kinetics of sequential semi-interpenetrating polymer networks based on crosslinked polyurethane with different cross-linking density and linear polystyrene, polybutylmethacrylate have been studied. Viscoelastic and thermophysical properties of sequential semi-IPNs were investigated by the method of dynamic mechanical analysis and differential scanning calorimetry. The experimental data show the dependence of the kinetic parameters of polymerization and relaxation properties on Mc.
