IPN‐related materials were synthesized from solution of two acrylate polymers having epoxide. From the dynamic mechanical spectroscopy, it was difficult to distinguish IPN or semi‐IPN from mechanical blend in the case of PEMA/P2EHMA system. But some possibility of IPN phenomenon was observed. In the case of PEMA/PEA system, IPN synthesized from benzene‐chloroform mixed solvent showed phase separation with the matrix of PEMA. IPN synthesized from xylene, however, showed phase separation with the matrix of PEA and the transition due to PEA shifted higher by 5°C than that of homo PEA. From the results, we concluded that PEMA/PEA system synthesized by xylene showed JPN phenomenon.
