Progress on preparation of silicon-acrylate latexes and their stability

Silicon-acrylate latexes take advantage of both polysiloxane and acrylates,and their corresponding products have been widely used as coating,adhesives and leather finishing agents.In this paper,the research progress in its preparation methods such as emulsifier-free polymerization,miniemulsion polymerization and latex interpenetrating polymer network,the effects of various factors on the stability of emulsion systems are all reviewed.The challenges in the silicon-acrylate latexes field are also put forward.
