A series of semi-interpenetrated polymer networks based on bisphenol A epoxy resin and polyurethane was synthesized by sequential procedure. The molecular dynamics of polyurethane incorporated in the resin network with increasing amounts of resin was followed by dynamic mechanical analysis. All phenomena that concur in the material are evaluated by cross-examination of the storage modulus ( E'), loss modulus ( E'') and loss factor (tan δ) variation with temperature. Complex aspects were elucidated in consecutive heating-cooling-heating cycles and by calculating the apparent activation energy of relaxations in multiplex experiments.

A versatile organic-solvent-free electromembrane extraction (EME) system, which could be successfully used for the extraction of both basic and acidic analytes, is proposed based on semi-interpenetrating polymer networks.
