Abstract (2. Language):
An interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) is any material
containing two polymers, each in network form. An IPN is a
combination of at least two polymers, and IPN can produce
synergistic effect by sharing the properties of both the polymers
consequently avoiding the limitations of natural as well as
synthetic polymers. The present review discusses various types
of IPN. Various methods of preparation and advantages on IPN
are elaborated. The concepts of high swelling capacity,
specificity and sensitivity of IPN play an important role in
targeting delivery of drugs. IPN has various advantages as a
biomaterial and is widely used as carrier systems for delivery of
the short biological half life drugs.
