Abstract
Semi and full interpenetrating polymer networks of polydimethyl siloxa ne/polystyrene (PDMS/PS) and polydimethyl siloxane/polyurethane (PDMS/ PU) were prepared sequentially. Characterization of the networks was m ade with swelling, differential scanning, calorimetry, stress-strain t ests, dynamic mechanical thermal analyser, and scanning electron micro scopy. The polymeric components are incompatible. However, considerabl e improvement in mechanical properties is observed by adding PS or PU to the PDMS host network.
