Abstract
Semi-interpenetrating networks have been produced from castor oil and poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET). Bond interchange between PET and c astor oil plays a major role in the development of initial miscibility , also affecting morphology and chemical structure. Microheterogeneous morphology is developed for materials of intermediate composition, wh ich have much greater toughness than the polymers from which they were made.
