Abstract: Interpenetrating polymer networks of polyepichlorohydrin-based polyurethane/ploy(MMA-co-St)have been prepared with simultaneous method by changing the weight fraction of MMA(WMMA)in copolymer of MMA with styrene. The IPNs have been studiedby DSC,TEM and dynamic mechanical spectroscopy(DMS).The results show that the IP-Ns have only one Tgwhen WMMAis greater than 0.6 But when WMMAis less than0.4, theIPNs have two Tgs, and phase separation is observed on TEM. The phenomenon is ex-plained according to the solubility parameters(δ)and the fraction of hydrogen bond(δh) of P(MMA-co-St).The study reveals that there is a close correlation among the δ,domain sizeand mechanical properties of PU(PECH)/P(MMA-co-St)IPN.
