Several interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) based on nitrile rubber‐poly(vinyl chloride) blends and various alkyl methacrylates have been synthesized. The rubber blends were swollen in methacrylate monomers containing required amounts of initiator and crosslinker for specific time periods and then polymerized at higher temperature. The composition of the IPNs could be varied by changing the swelling time. The IPNs were characterized for their glass‐transition temperature, dynamic mechanical properties, and tensile properties. The effect of structure and composition on the vibration damping characteristics of these IPNs are discussed.
