Urethane based polyacrylates

Adhesives recommended are neoprene and urethane elastomers, epoxies, and modified epoxies, phenolic-polyvinyl butyral, nitiile-phenohc, polyester, cyanoacrylates, resorcinol-formaldehyde, phenolics, polyacrylates, modified acrylics, PVC, and urea-formaldehyde. Phenolic adhesives give good results, but require higher cure temperatures and are less water-resistant than resorcinol-based adhesives. 

Simultaneous and sequential IPNs based on various polymeric systems have been prepared using polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) as the host network (3-8). These systems include poly(ether-urethane), polystyrene, poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenyleneoxide), polyacrylic acid, PDMS, polymethylmethacrylate, polyethylene oxide (PEO)... as the guest network. Some semi-interpenetrating networks (s-IPNs) based either on a linear polymer embedded in a polysiloxane network (5,9,10) or on a linear polysiloxane combined with a PEO network (8) have also been described. In some cases, PDMS has been replaced by polyaromatic siloxanes such as polydiphenyl or polymethylphenylsiloxanes (10-12). The focus of this paper concerns the preparation and properties of IPNs and s-IPNs based on polysiloxanes and poly(diethyleneglycol bis-allylcarbonate) (13,14).
