A process for preparing a copolymer latex comprising emulsion polymerizing an aliphatic conjugated diene monomer and other monomer copolymerizable therewith in the presence of a cyclic unsaturated hydrocarbon having one unsaturated bond in a ring, in which, preferably a monomer mixture which does not contain the aliphatic conjugated diene monomer is added after the addition of a monomer mixture containing the aliphatic conjugated diene monomer, or a part of a chain transfer agent is added after the addition of the monomers. This copolymer latex is useful as an adhesive composition, a paper coating composition, an adhesive composition for back-sizing carpets, an adhesive composition for rock fiber materials, a paper coating composition for gravure printing, and a color developing composition for a pressure sensitive copying paper.
A color developing composition for a pressure sensitive copying paper comprising a pigment, a color developer and a copolymer latex as a binder, characterized in that said copolymer latex is a copolymer latex prepared by emulsion copolymerizing a monomer mixture comprising 20 to 60% by weight of 1,3-butadiene, 0 to 20% by weight of acrylonitrile, 1 to 20% by weight of an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid monomer, and 34 to 79% by weight of at least one monomer selected from the group consisting of styrene, methyl methacrylate, .beta.-hydroxyethyl acrylate and acrylamide in the presence of 0.1 to 30 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the monomer mixture of cyclohexene.
