Abstract
A process for preparing a latex by efficiently homogenizing an aqueous mixture containing an emulsifier and a water-insoluble solvent for the monomer(s) to be polymerized, adding monomer and if desired further water to the homogenized mixture and also a water-soluble polymerization initiator. Instead of a water-soluble polymerization initiator an oil-soluble polymerization may be used having sufficient solubility to diffuse through the aqueous phase into the drops of water-insoluble solvent and monomer.
