In this, the second of two papers on a series of simultaneous polyurethane (PUR)/polystyrene (PS) interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs), the T g behaviour, mechanical properties and modulus–composition relations have been studied. A gross phase morphology over the full IPN composition range was i...
