| Abstract: | Abstract 4-Acetyl-phenyl acrylate was prepared by reacting 4-hydroxy acetophenone with acryloyl chloride. It was then polymerized using benzoyl peroxide (BPO) as initiator to give the homopolymer. Both the vinylmonomer and its homopolymer were characterized by FTIR spectra. The polyurethane obtained from castor oil and TDI (Toluene-2,4-diisocyanate) with varying NCO/OH ratio was reacted with the new monomer 4-acetyl phenyl acrylate to give a large number of interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) using divinyl benzene as cross-linker and BPO as initiator. The thermogravimetric studies of the IPNs have been carried out and the kinetic parameters have been evaluated. |
