Abstract
- Interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) were prepared by photo and thermal polymerizations of diacrylate, diepoxide and hybrid monomer mixtures, in which the functional groups in each monomer were linked by bisphenol A hard segment. Dynamic mechanical analysis, tensile tests, thermogravimetric analysis, hardness analysis and visible spectrometry were performed to evaluate the properties of the IPNs and their precursors. The IPNs obtained, containing a small amount of diepoxide, indicated the highest mechanical properties at a ratio of hybrid/diacrylate of around 1:2. This composition also agreed with the composition showing highest surface hardness and transparency. In addition, the influence of microwave irradiation on curing time was also studied.
