Abstract

The investigation of the features of the formation of interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) based on cross-linked polyurethane and organic-inorganic copolymer (OIC) based on hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and titanium isopropoxide (Ti(OPri)4) was carried out using the IR spectroscopy method. It has been demonstrated that during the synthesis of organic-inorganic IPNs (OI IPNs), three-dimensional cross-linked structures with the inclusion of (-TiO2-) fragments in the polymer chain of poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate) are formed. The examinations of the viscoelastic properties and thermal stability of organic-inorganic IPNs by dynamic mechanical (DMA) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) showed that the value of M c decreases with an increase in the content of (-TiO2-) fragments in OI IPN; in addition, the thermal stability of the obtained hybrid OI IPNs increases significantly compared to the parent systems.
