Short Description
This book examines the current state of the art, new challenges, opportunities, and applications in the field of Interpenetrating Polymer Networks (IPNs). It focuses on the preparation, characterization and properties of IPN systems and gives more emphasis to nano-structured IPN materials. The book carefully debates the preparation of semi-IPNs, full IPNs, porous networks derived therefrom, as well as various manufacturing techniques, structure, morphology and properties of IPNs. With contributions from experts across the globe, this survey is an outstanding resource reference for anyone involved in the field of polymer materials design for advanced technologies.
