Two types of reinforced elastomeric interpentrating polymer network (IPN) were prepared by simultaneous polymerization and crosslinking in solution. The first type consisted of polyurethane-poly(methyl methacrylate) (PU/PMMA), and the second, of polyurethane-poly(methyl methacrylate-methacrylic acid) PU/P(MMA-MAA) of constant composition (90/10) and (80/20) by weight, respectively. The members of each type differed in the NCO/OH ratio of the PU prepolymer and the molecular weight (MW) of the polyol in the PU component because we wished to investigate systematically the effect of changing the NCO/OH ratio and MW of the polyol on the mechanical properties and morphology of the resulting IPNs. The mechanical properties, particularly the modulus of both tyes of IPN, increased with increasing NCO/OH ratio and decreased with increasing MW of the polyol in the PU. The morphology of the IPNs was studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Improved phase compatibility and decreasing extent of phase separation was observed in both types of IPN with increasing NCO/OH ratio and decreasing MW of the polyol used in the PU. These results may imply that improved interpenetration results from increasing the NCO/OH ratio and decreasing the MW of the polyol in the PU component. The fact that the effect is more pronounced with the type of PU-P(MMA-MAA) IPN can be rationalized as due to the additional hydrogen bonding between the carbonyl in the carboxyl groups and the urethane or urea groups in the PU component.
