Intramolekular vernetzte poly(organosiloxan)partikel

Abstract

Intramolecularly crosslinked poly(organosiloxane) particles are prepared by means of emulsion polycondensation or emulsion polymerization of alkoxysilanes or cyclic organic siloxanes. Starting from these intramolecularly crosslinked poly(organosiloxane) particles, graft copolymers are obtained by free‐radical emulsion polymerization of unsaturated olefinic monomers (e.g. acrylates, styrene) in the presence of (functionalized) organosiloxanes. Intramolecularly crosslinked poly(siloxane) particles and their graft copolymers are characterized by means of light scattering (in dispersion), electron microscopy and thermal analyses (DSC, DMTA).
