Abstract A method based on Stokes' law, involving the use of an ordinary laboratory centrifuge, is described for the determination of particle size distribution in GR-S latexes. It is shown to be valid by tests for reproducibility and by comparison with the results of light and electron microscopy. In applying the method, several unusually fluid high-solids latexes made in the pilot plant were found to be characterized by a wide distribution of particle sizes. Data on various latexes in plant production are reported.
