The materials and methods used for the preparation of interpenetrated
polymer network (IPN) by UV curing processes are reported. In particular,
recent developments on the formation and characterization of some sequential
IPN based on mixtures of commercially available diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A
(DGEBA) epoxy resins and UV curable epoxy-dimethacrylate resins are
discussed. Finally, the photopolymerization kinetic behavior and thermal
properties of some UV curable mixtures based on the modified epoxydimethacrylate
resins for the preparation and characterization of a grafted
sequential IPN are described
