Abstract
The effect of curing kinetics on the effective cross-linking density i n semi-IPNs based on crosslinked polyurethane, in which the molecular mass of the polyether fragment was varied, and poly(butyl methacrylate ) was studied. The molecular mass of the polyether fragment affects th e rate of formation of poly(butyl methacrylate). Kinetic conditions ar e the main factor that controls the cross-linking density of the resul tant semi-IPNs. The effective cross-linking density in a semi-IPN is a lways lower than that of the initial polyurethane network.
