An overview is given on recent studies of latices by small‐angle x‐ray scattering (SAXS). It is demonstrated that SAXS‐studies performed at different contrast (contrast variation) allows the full elucidation of the fine structure of the particles down to a size‐scale of a few nanometers. Examples are given including studies on core‐shell latices composed of polystyrene (PS) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) as well as of carboxylated latices.
