ABSTRACTInterpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) have been synthesized from polymers that form miscible polymer blends. Full, semi-I and semi-II IPNs made from polystyrene-d8 and poly(vinylmethylether) can be made to phase separate by incorporating low levels of crosslinking. However, blends of these polymers have a negative Flory-Huggins interaction parameter, making them highly miscible. This indicates that formation of IPNs favors phase separation relative to blends.IPNs made from polystyrene-d8 and polystyrene-h8 show that increased crosslink density also destabilizes the mixture as shown by small angle neutron scattering.IPNs have also been made by crosslinking end functionalized polydimethylsiloxanes in the presence of nonfunctionalized, deuterated siloxanes. These IPNs are also destabilized by increasing crosslink density, suggesting that the destabilization is due to the network, and not to the particular type of network forming reaction.
