Synthesis and characterization of modified bismaleimide/polysulfone semi‐interpenetrating polymer networks

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 2006
AbstractThe present work reports a new method of preparing semi‐interpenetrating polymer network (semi‐IPN) membranes through in situ polymerization of bismaleimide (BMI) within polysulfone (PSF). It was found that BMI could be polymerized at ambient conditions in the presence of a proton donor and PSF without the use of an initiator or a catalyst ...

A semi-interpenetrating network acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive for efficient transdermal application with high cohesion and adhesion

Materials & Design
The application of pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) in transdermal drug delivery systems (TDDSs) is limited. Insufficient cohesion in TDDS can lead to cold flow, patch displacement, dose inaccuracies, and the ‘dark ring’ phenomenon.
