✦ Synopsis


Two interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs), (one pseudo-IPN consisting of a linear polyurethane/epoxy-based polymer network and one full-IPN consisting of a poly(methyl methacrylate)/epoxy-based polymer network) have been synthesized and characterized. Both IPNs showed only one T g ; hence a homogeneous phase morphology is suggested. The second-order non-linear optical coef®cients (d 33 ) of the pseudo-IPN and the full-IPN were measured and found to be 2.78 Â 10 À7 esu and 1.86 Â 10 7 esu, respectively. The study of temporal stability at room temperature and elevated temperature (120 °C) indicates that the full-IPN is more ef®cient at improving the orientational stability of the non-linear optical chromophores than the pseudo-IPN, because of the permanent entanglements of the two component networks in the full-IPN.
