Abstract: A series of simultaneously interpenetrating polymer networks of polyurethane and poly(methyl methacrylate)were synthesized.Dynamic mechanical analysis was carried out to determine the system damping performance.The effects of composition ratio,crosslinking density,nano-SiO₂ content,content of octadecyl methacrylate with long and soft pendant group,and content of internetwork grafting agent,hydroxyethyl methylacrylate on the system damping performance were investigated.The morphology of the interpenetrating polymer networks system was studied with transmission electron microscope.The damping performance of interpenetrating polymer networks system could not be improved by changing the system crosslinking density,but could be improved in the range between the two glass transition phases by adding a moderate amount of nano-SiO₂.With the addition of octadecyl methacrylate,the glass transition of poly(methyl methacrylate)phase shifted to a lower temperature to obtain a continuous and widened damping range.Hydroxyethyl methylacrylate was an efficient internetwork grafting agent.The system would be optically transparent and only one glass transition could be found,when 3% hydroxyethyl methylacrylate was added.
