An aqueous emulsion comprising a copolymer having a two-layer structure is produced by polymerizing at least one aqueous vinyl monomer component (II) in the presence of a seed emulsion (I) comprising seeds composed of a copolymer containing 10-50% by weight of (meth)acrylonitrile as a monomer unit. This aqueous emulsion has heat resistance, solvent resistance, and anti-blocking property, and can be used as an undercoating agent, an agent for treating a back side, a binder for diazo photosensitive paper, a binder for an offset master, and the like. |
