Abstract

Abstract Interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) of polyurethane (PU)/polyacrylates have been synthesized by sequential polymerization of castor oil, methylene diisocyanate (MDI), and acrylate monomers such as methyl acrylate (MA), methyl methacrylate (MMA), and ethyl acrylate (EA); with benzoyl peroxide (BPO) and ethylene glycol dimethyl acrylate (EGDM) as an initiator and crosslinker, respectively. The physico-mechanical properties, such as density, surface hardness, tensile strength, percentage elongation at break, and tear strength; and the optical properties, like total transmittance and haze, of PU/polyacrylate IPNs have been reported. Microcrystalline parameters of IPNs have been computed by using wide angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) recordings. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 95: 764–773, 2005
