The kinetics aspects of the formation of castor‐oil‐based polyurethane/poly(2‐hydroxyethyl methacrylate) interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) were studied. The effect of parameters such as the polyurethane content, the activator, and acrylic cross‐linker on the kinetics of formation of IPN networks was examined at room temperature. The formation of the individual networks, polyurethane, poly(2‐hydroxethyl methacrylate), and their IPNs, was studied by measuring the decrease of absorbance of characteristic absorption peak of each system using IR spectroscopy. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
