Interpenetrating Polymer Networks

Angewandte Chemie International Edition in English, 1978
AbstractBesides mechanical blending and copolymerization there is a third possible way in which two polymers can be combined. Each polymer forms its own network, while both networks interpenetrate each other. There are no covalent bonds between the polymers. Such interpenetrating networks have been synthesized sequentially (from polymer A and monomer B)

Interpenetrating Polymer Networks for Biological Applications

Biomaterials, Medical Devices, and Artificial Organs, 1979
The use of a sequential polymerization method for preparing interpenetrating polymer networks with biocomatible surfaces has been studied. A hydrogel monomer was made to undergo polymerization with simultaneous cross-link formation, in the presence of a swollen thermoplastic elastomer heterophase block copolymer.
