A mechanism for the formation of rubber particles in the polymerization of solutions of rubber in vinyl monomers is presented. A polymeric oil‐in‐oil emulsion is formed in the first phase of the polymerization. This polymeric oil‐in‐oil emulsion is transtormed into a solid dispersion of rubber in vinyl polymer in the second phase of the polymerization. A phase inversion takes place in the emulsion in the first phase of the polymerization. Rubber solution droplets are formed at the phase inversion point. These droplets harden as the polymerization proceeds and are gradually transformed into the solid, crosslinked rubber particles of the final polymer.
