Structure–property relationship of polyethylene glycol‐based PU/PAN semi‐interpenetrating polymer networks

Abstract: Polyethylene glycol-400 (PEG) based polyurethane (PU) and polyacrylonitrile (PAN) semi-interpenetrating polymer networks (SIPNs) (PU/PAN; 90/10, 70/30, 60/40, and 50/50) have been prepared by sequential polymerization method. The prepared SIPNs have been characterized by physicomechanical properties. The microcrystalline parameters such as crystal size (͗N͘), lattice disorder (g), surface (D s ) and volume (D v ) weighted crystal size of SIPNs have been estimated using wide angle X-ray scattering studies, and … Show more

“…Wide angle X‐ray scattering (WAXS) patterns of PU/SPI composites were recorded using Philip's PW 1140 diffractometer of Bragg–Branto geometry (fine focus settings) with germanium monochromatic radiation of Cu Kα (λ = 0.1542 nm) in the 2θ range 5–60°. Microstructural parameters such as crystallite size (〈 N 〉) and lattice strain (g in %) are usually determined by employing the Fourier method . The microstructure encompasses the compositional inhomogeneity, distribution of the phase in the material, the grain size, shape and the distribution functions of the grain‐size parameters, the grain (crystal)‐orientation distribution function (texture), the grain boundaries/interfaces, and the surface of the material.…”

“…An IPN can be distinguished from polymer blend in the way that an IPN swells but does not dissolve in solvents and creep properties are suppressed to a great extent . Interpenetrating polymerization is a mode of blending of two polymers to produce a mixture in which phase separation is not as extensive as it would be otherwise . However, IPNs synthesized so far exhibit various degrees of phase separation depending mainly on the miscibility of polymers .…”
