The small‐angle X‐ray scattering technique was applied to study the morphology of a series of water‐repellent terpolymers polymerized from a fluoro‐component, a hydrocarbon‐component and a crosslinking agent. The intraparticle homogeneity of the terpolymers was semiquantitatively determined from the small‐angle X‐ray spectra using a proposed structural model. The X‐ray results were correlated to the water repellency test data using the AATCC test method 22‐1989. The consistency of the polymerization reaction process as a function of the weight ratio of the fluoro‐components is discussed. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 63: 903–909, 1997
