Summary: Experimental data are discussed challenging the deterministic kinetics of emulsion polymerization. Examples are given for the overall rate of polymerization, in‐situ stabilizer formation, and swelling of latex particles. Improving the deterministic view on emulsion polymerization kinetics requires the consideration of results of molecular modelling and the application of multiscale integration techniques.
