The viscoelastic and mechanical properties and the morphology of polyurethane (PUR)/polystyrene (PS) interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) containing ionic groups have been investigated. Dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) revealed a pronounced change in the viscoelastic properties upon th

## Synopsis Two latex interpenetrating polymer networks, one prepared from a pair of supposedly compatible polymers and the other from an incompatible pair, were investigated using transmission electron microscopy and dynamic mechanical analysis. From the results, it was proposed that both interpe
Because of their incompatibility and the different refractive indices of the homopolymer components, polyurethane/polystyrene interpenetrating polymer networks are turbid by nature. Different parameters likely to enhance their transparency are examined: the crosslink density of each network and the
A series of interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) of polyurethane/ polyacrylates were synthesized. Their morphology was investigated by means of smallangle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The influence of an active positive charge group (ON(CH 3 ) 2 ) on the ph
