Synthèse et caractérisation de « Homo-IPNs » à base d’acrylates.

Abstract

This work deals with elaboration and characterization of two Homo-Interpenetrating’s Polymers Networks (H-IPNs) based on acrylic monomers. The first one consists of a PolyEHA network (PolyEthyl-Hexyl-Acrylate) and the second of a PolyABu network (Poly-Acrylate de Butyle) obtained by photo-polymerization by UV-Curing of monofunctional monomers. The characterization of the interpenetrating networks of polymers was carried out by different techniques. The Fourier transformed Infrared spectroscopy allows us to verify the conversion of monomers into a polymer network; the kinetics of swelling in the starting reactive solutions informs us about the ability to swell for each sample; the DSC was used to define the glass transition temperatures of the samples and the ATG which makes possible to obtain the thermal degradation temperatures of the different polymer networks.
