A reactive latex Styrene (S) ‐ Butyl Acrylate (BuA) functionalized with methyl acrylamidoglycolate methyl ether (MAGME) has been synthesized in emulsion and characterized, which can be further crosslinked with other adapted reactive latices. This work deals mainly with kinetics and location of the monomers and with a comparison between experimental and simulated data based on monomer partition and reactivities. The three stages polymerization of hydrophilic MAGME has been quantitatively explained. From the change in overall propagation rate constants and DSC thermograms, it is concluded that particles are structured with a core richer in S and a shell richer in BuA, a huge amount of MAGME being polymerized in the water phase as hydrosoluble polymer strongly adsorbed onto particles and forming a reactive ultimate layer.
