| Abstract: | Two component interpenetrating networks (IPNs) of the SIN type (simultaneous interpenetrating networks), composed of a polyisocyanurate network and a star-shaped nylon 6, were made. The overall polymerization rates and physical properties for reaction injection molding (RIM) have been studied by the quasi-adiabatic process. In order to model the actual rapid molding conditions, time versus temperature reaction profiles were measured, and the relative rates of polymerization subsequently determined from these data. |
