Abstract.
Interpenetrating polymer networks were prepared by photopolymerizing 2-ethylhexyl acrylate in the presence of polyurethanes derived from castor oil. The films obtained which contained varying amounts of both polyacrylate and crosslinking agent, hexamethylene diacrylate, were investigated as to their mechanical properties.
