The equilibrium morphologies of different core–shell latices are predicted, and a related sensitivity analysis is given for the predictions. This article proposes a related sensitivity range for estimating the accuracy of predictions, made with the simple method, of the thermodynamically preferred morphology of a core–shell latex particle in two‐stage seeded emulsion polymerization. The related sensitivity range of the predictions is defined and calculated, and the results show that different core–shell latices have different sensitivity ranges. The wider the sensitivity range is, the more reliable the prediction is of the morphology of the core–shell latex. The simple method of related sensitivity range has been verified in the literature and with experiments. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 92: 3144–3152, 2004
