Main chain and segmental dynamics of semi interpenetrating polymer networks based on polyisoprene and poly(methyl methacrylate)  
(2390-2402)  Polymer 51 #11 (2010)
Semi IPN synthesis resulted in dramatic changes in the motional behavior of both polymers due to the molecular level interpenetration between two polymer chains. The rigid PMMA chains closely interpenetrated into the highly mobile PI network and restricted the nearby PI chains while the highly mobile PI chains induced some degree of flexibility in highly rigid PMMA chains.  (RDC 12/22/2010)
