The kinetics of the high solids content miniemulsion terpolymerization of styrene, 2‐ethyl hexyl acrylate and the methacrylic acid and the final properties of the latexes produced by this method were compared with those resulting from the corresponding conventional emulsion polymerization process. The final latex properties considered were: latex viscosity both prior and after neutralization, mechanical stability, chemical stability, and freeze‐thaw stability. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
