Monodispersed noncarboxylated and carboxylated poly(n‐butyl methacrylate‐co‐n‐butyl acrylate) latices were synthesized with a well‐defined semicontinuous emulsion polymerization process. A modified theory to correlate the polymerization rate to the instantaneous conversion of the monomer or comonome...
