Abstract:Interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) are a polymer consisting of two or more polymer networks exhibiting a certain degree of molecular‐scale interlacing within the matrix but not covalently bonded. The network structure cannot be separated without breaking chemical bonds. This unique structure results in synergistic combinations of mechanical, thermal, chemical, and other properties. The synthesis of IPNs can be achieved through simultaneous or sequential polymerization processes, exploiting the compatibil… Show more
