A series of samples of polystyrene (PS) –polyethylene (PE) interpenetrating polymer network (IPN)–like system was prepared by synthesis in situ. The measurement of uniaxial compression modulus of the IPN samples was used for the determination of mean molar mass of the polymer chain between two junction points of the polymer network – M̌ C . The electron microscopic records gave an evidence about two phase structure of the IPN samples. Generally, the crystalline part of PE network in all IPN investigated samples is relatively low. The influence of the concentration of crosslinking agent on mechanical behaviour of the IPN samples was studied.
