Influence of the process on phase separation induced by radical copolymerization of styrene and divinylbenzene in the presence of reactive polyurethane network precursors

Chenal, J M ; Colombini, Didier LU and Widmaier, J M (2006) In Journal of Applied Polymer Science 99(6). p.2989-2996
Abstract
Interpenetrating polymer systems based on crosslinked polyurethane (PU) and polystyrene (PS) were prepared at room temperature by a one-shot (in situ) method, starting from an initial homogeneous mixture of reagents via noninterfering mechanisms. Both polymerizations were performed either simultaneously or one after the other. True simultaneity at every stages of the process is not possible. Despite the difference in refractive index of the components, hazy or optically clear films were obtained, thus indicating various levels of phase separation, also confirmed by glass transition temperature (T-g) measurements. The results suggest that controlling the chemistry and process (crosslink density, composition, and time sequence of events) of... (More)
