Silicone/organic copolymer emulsions

摘要

Disclosed herein is the emulsion copolymerizing of a particular crosslinker, i.e., either a siloxane or silazane, with an organic monomer. An emulsion is formed therefrom having particles consisting of polymer chains formed from an organic monomer. Depending on the crosslinker and reaction conditions, these emulsion polymer chains are either crosslinked or uncrosslinked. The uncrosslinked polymer chains are then crosslinked at a later point by the addition of a suitable catalyst.
