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

β¦ Synopsis
Polyurethanes based on PPG 2000 with variable concentrations of TDI and TMP were prepared and used for sorption studies, employing homologous series of hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene and xylene. The sorption was observed to be non-Fickian in nature. The solubility parameter of the polyurethane series was observed to be 9Γ7 (cal cm~3)1@2. The polymer solvent interaction parameter s was found to be lowest in benzene, suggesting higher interaction with it. The sorption and di β usion coefficients were observed to increase with a decrease in the degree of crosslinking. Molecular weights between crosslinks were calculated using the FloryΓRehner equation and compared with those obtained theoretically.
