To the surprise of practically no one, research and engineering on
multi polymer materials has steadily increased through the 1960s
and 1970s. More and more people are remarking that we are running
out of new monomers to polymerize, and that the improved polymers
of the future will depend heavily on synergistic combinations of
existing materials. In the era of the mid-1960s, three distinct
multipolymer combinations were recognized: polymer blends, grafts,
and blocks. Although inter penetrating polymer networks, lPNs, were
prepared very early in polymer history, and already named by Millar
in 1960, they played a relatively low-key role in polymer research
developments until the late 1960s and 1970s. I would prefer to
consider the IPNs as a subdivision of the graft copolymers. Yet the
unique topology of the IPNs imparts properties not easily
obtainable without the presence of crosslinking. One of the
objectives of this book is to point out the wealth of work done on
IPNs or closely related materials. Since many papers and patents
actually concerned with IPNs are not so designated, this literature
is significantly larger than first imagined. It may also be that
many authors will meet each other for the first time on these pages
and realize that they are working on a common topology. The number
of applications suggested in the patent literature is large and
growing. Included are impact-resistant plastics, ion exchange
resins, noise-damping materials, a type of thermoplastic elastomer,
and many more."
