The four important factors that determine the rate of emulsion polymerization are the propagation rate coefficient, the latex‐particle concentration, the monomer concentration in the latex particles, and the free‐radical concentration in the latex particles. Both theoretical considerations and experimental evidence suggest that the important factors that may reduce the rate of emulsion polymerization at high conversion are the propagation rate coefficient and the monomer concentration in the latex particles, and not the free‐radical concentration in the latex particle, if the initiator is not depleted. Various approaches for increasing the rate of emulsion polymerization at high conversion are suggested.
