The incorporation of alkoxysilanes into latex systems is of major interest in the field of colloidal science. Two kinds of vinyl‐containing alkoxysilanes, methacyloxypropyltrimethoxyl silane and vinyltriethoxysilane, were copolymerized with butyl acrylate and methyl methacrylate by seeded emulsion polymerization, and copolymer latices were obtained. The morphologies of the latex particles were characterized with transmission electron microscopy. Dynamic light scattering showed that the particle size increased and the particle size distributions of all the copolymer latex particles were alike with increasing amounts of organosilane. The effects of the organosilane content on the morphology of the particles, the rheology, and the swelling properties were also investigated. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2009
