Description:	Polyvinyl acetate and vinyl acetate-acrylic copolymer latices are very important in adhesives, paint, binders for nonwovens, paper and textile additive industries, and many related industries. Their production is growing steadily in both actual quantities and different applications. They also possess rather unique properties among emul- sion polymers in general due to the high water-soluble nature of vinyl acetate monomer, its high monomer-polymer swelling ratio, and its high chain transfer constant. However, little work has been done on this subject outside of industrial laboratories, and comparatively few publications have been made in scientific peri- odicals. These publications have the disadvantage of presenting fragments of the field and never the total picture. Although many well-written texts have appeared on general emulsion polymerization in past years, no monograph devoted to poly- vinyl acetate based latices has been published; there is only a symposium proceeding edited by M. S. El-Aasser and J. W. Vanderhoff in 1981. The need for an introductory and clear text in the field for visitors from industry or university students is quite evident.
