Abstract

Interpenetrating polymer networks made of dicyclopentadiene and methyl methacrylate or tri(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate have been successfully prepared by non-interfering frontal polymerization. The role of catalyst and free radical initiator relative amounts, as well as of monomer ratio, has been thoroughly studied. The conditions under which a pure frontal polymerization occurs, and the related values of both front velocity and maximum temperature reached by the reaction, are presented and discussed.
