A possible model for the formation of interpenetrating polymer networks is suggested. Phase separation is assumed to be faster than gelation. This implies that domains rich in either component grow first until late stages of spinodal decomposition. In these domains, short linear chains are crosslink
Prevalence of patterned microstructures in interpenetrating polymer networks is well documented experimentally. Thermodynamic theories explaining this feature nonetheless have not been forthcoming. These enmeshed structures carry elastic energy and elevate in the thermodynamic limit the free energy
## Abstract α,ω‐Acrylate terminated poly(1,3‐dioxolane) (polyDXL) was copolymerized with methyl acrylate and methyl methacrylate for the synthesis of block copolymer networks. It was shown by dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) that the presence of covalent bonds between poly DXL and the pol
