Gradient interpenetrating polymer networks: Preparing and properties

Methods for preparation, as well as physico chemical and mechanical properties of the gradient interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) have been considered. The results of studies on viscoelastic properties, tensile strength, and other mechanical parameters of gradient IPN layers have been presented. Comparison of the properties of both traditional and gradient IPNs of the same chemical nature have been done. The data on the change of thermodynamical compatibility of components per layer in gradient IPNs have been presented.
