The Current Status of Interpenetrating Polymer Networks

Abstract: An interpenetrating polymer network, IPN, is defined as a combination of two or more polymers in network form, at least one of which is polymerized and/or crosslinked in the immediate presence of the other(s). The synthesis, morphology and mechanical properties of recent works are reviewed, with special emphasis on dual phase continuity, and the number of physical entanglements that arise in homo‐IPNs. The concepts of phase diagrams are applied, especially to simultaneous interpenetrating network phase separat… Show more

“…Desde el punto de vista de la innovación, la estructura química del aceite de higuerilla es de gran interés, porque permite un gran número de reacciones y productos derivados. 1 El uso del aceite de higuerilla en la síntesis de elastómeros de poliuretano e IPNs ha sido reportado en numerosas investigaciones. [2][3][4] Estos estudios muestran que se puede obtener un amplio rango de propiedades físicas y mecánicas dependiendo del contenido del poliol y el diisocianato.…”

“…Interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) introduced in the early 1960s, were successful in creating polymeric nano-scale blends having new extraordinary properties as reviewed elsewhere [6,7]. The importance of IPN synthesis has been recognized in engineering literature, patents and commercialized products since 1951 [8,9]. The concept of in situ polymerization within and through the structure of another polymer network as well as stabilizing this multiphase system was based on creating interpenetrating (i.e.…”

“…Different monomers or different polymer chains with appropriate cross-linking agents are polymerized together. The advantage of this process is that the two components are cross-linked by reactions and will not interfere with one another, 37 such as when a condensation reaction occurs polymerizing one network while the other network is formed by a free radical reaction. Figure 4 shows a schematic mechanism of IPNs.…”
