Spatially controlled functionality of polymeric products

A method for making a product, the method comprising:

• a) combining at least one first polymerizable component and at least one second polymerizable component to form a composition, and polymerizing the at least one first polymerizable component to form at least one first polymer structure, wherein at least two phases are formed from the at least one first polymer structure and the at least one second polymerizable component;
• b) polymerizing at least one first polymerizable component to form at least one first polymer structure, and combining the at least one first polymer structure and at least one first component to form a composition, wherein the at least one first component comprises at least one functional component, at least one functional precursor component, or combinations thereof;
• or,
• c) combining at least one first polymerizable component and at least one polymer and/or polymer derivative to form a composition, and polymerizing the at least one first polymerizable component to form at least one first polymer structure, wherein at least two phases are formed from the at least one first polymer structure and the at least one polymer and/or polymer derivative,
• wherein the product is a functional product, a functional precursor product, or a combination of a functional and functional precursor product.
