The present invention is directed to a method of forming a golf ball that
contains an interpenetrating polymer network, or IPN, which includes at
least two polymeric systems, in one or more of the layers. The first
polymeric system may include a polyurethane-based or polyurea-based
system having blocked isocyanate groups and the second polymeric system
may include an epoxy-based or acrylic-based system, wherein the two
systems are polymerized or cured simultaneously or sequentially to form
an IPN.
