Core–shell latex with polyacrylate rich in core and fluoropolymer rich in shell was prepared by semicontinuous emulsion polymerization in the presence of mixed emulsifiers. The solids content of the latex was about 25 wt %. The polymerization conditions for the latex were discussed. The morphology of latex particles was characterized by transmission electron microscopy and the surface properties were determined by the Wilhelmy method. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
