Emulsion polymerization is the most common and useful method for preparing waterborne organosilicone polymers. In this paper
the silicone monomers or silicone-containing pre-polymers used in emulsion polymerization
the polymerization process and the stability of emulsion systems are all reviewed. The challenges in the synthesis of waterborne organosilicone polymers by emulsion polymerizing method are put forward
and the progress having made in this field are also discussed.
