Résumé

The use of semi-hydrolyzable oligoester-derivatized interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) as nanostructured precursors provides a straightforward and versatile approach toward mesoporous networks. Different poly(d,l-lactide) (PLA)/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)-based IPNs were synthesized by resorting to the so-called in situ sequential method. The PLA sub-network was first generated from a dihydroxy-telechelic PLA oligomer via an end-linking reaction with Desmodur® RU as a triisocyanate cross-linker. Subsequently, the methacrylic sub-network was created by free-radical copolymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and a dimethacrylate (either bisphenol A dimethacrylate or diurethane dimethacrylate) with varying compositions (initial MMA/dimethacrylate composition ranging from 99/1 to 90/10 mol%). Both cross-linking processes were monitored by real-time infrared spectroscopy. The microphase separation developed in IPN precursors was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Furthermore, the quantitative hydrolysis of the PLA sub-network, under mild basic conditions, afforded porous methacrylic structures with pore sizes ranging from 10 to 100 nm -at most- thus showing the effective role of cross-linked PLA sub-chains as porogen templates. Pore sizes and pore size distributions were determined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and thermoporometry via DSC measurements. The mesoporosity of residual networks could be attributed to the good degree of chain interpenetration associated with both sub-networks in IPN precursors, due to their peculiar interlocking framework.
