Abstract
The invention is directed to a process of producing an interpenetrated network of at least two polymers; comprising the following steps: (a) preparing a mixture (10) comprising a first monomer and a second monomer; (b) applying the mixture (10) on a substrate (6); and (c) curing the first monomer and the second monomer so as to form the interpenetrated network; characterized in that the first monomer is a vinyl or allyl monomer; the second monomer is a polymerizable cyclic monomer; and step (c) comprises using a plasma (12) so as to first cure the first monomer.
