Abstract
Semi-interpenetrating polymer networks (SIPNs) have garnered significant interest due to their potential applications in self-healing materials, drug delivery systems, electrolytes, functional membranes, smart gels and, toughing. SIPNs combine the characteristics of physical cross-linking with advantageous chemical properties, offering broad application prospects in materials science and engineering. This perspective introduces the history of semi-interpenetrating polymer networks and their diverse applications. Additionally, the ongoing challenges associated with traditional semi-interpenetrating polymer materials are discussed and provide an outlook on future advancements in novel functional SIPNs.
