Abstract
A process for the emulsion polymerization in the presence of a stable free radical of at least one monomer which can be polymerized by the radical route, which emulsion comprises a liquid aqueous phase and a liquid organic phase, the aqueous phase comprising at least 50% by weight of water and the liquid organic phase comprising more than 50% by weight of monomer(s) to be polymerized. The invention results, by a rapid controlled polymerization process, in a latex of polymer particles, it being possible for the polymer to comprise acrylate and/or methacrylate blocks.
