%X Data on the rate of approach to steady state in a series of studies of the seeded emulsion polymerization of styrene yield the dependence of the rate coefficient for entry of free radicals into latex particles as a function of the weight-fraction polymer and hence of monomer concentration in the aqueous phase. The results are in accord with a model for the entry process (i.e., for the initiator efficiency) based on aqueous-phase propagation and termination being the rate-controlling events.
