A copolymer latex which is useful in an adhesive composition, a paper coating composition, an adhesive composition for carpet lining and an adhesive composition for a rock fiber substrate is prepared by emulsion copolymerizing an aliphatic conjugated diene monomer and at least one other monomer copolymerizable therewith in the presence of a chain transfer agent and at least one compound having no copolymerizing reactivity selected from the group consisting of hydrocarbons having 5 to 12 carbon atoms, halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons, five or six membered ring heterocyclic compounds, aliphatic ethers and aliphatic esters in an amount of 1 to 100 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of a total amounts of the aliphatic conjugated diene monomer and the other monomer. |
