Hybrid copolymers are described having a particular utility for use in coatings such as latex paints, stains, lacquers, etc. The hybrid copolymers demonstrate improved washability and scrubbability at the same, time as compared to copolymers and coatings with traditional binders. The hybrid copolymers may include a hybrid ethylene/styrene/vinyl acetate copolymer and methods of making such copolymers. L'invention concerne des copolymères hybrides ayant une utilité particulière en ce qu'ils peuvent être utilisés dans des revêtements tels que des peintures au latex, des teintures, des laques, etc. Les copolymères hybrides présentent en même temps une aptitude au lavage et une lessivabilité améliorées par rapport aux copolymères et revêtements comprenant des liants classiques. Les copolymères hybrides peuvent comprendre un copolymère hybride d'éthylène/styrène/acétate de vinyle. L'invention concerne en outre des procédés de préparation de tels copolymères.
