Abstract
Emulsions containing particles of an organopolysiloxane with an average particle diameter of less than about 100 nanometer are prepared by (i) adding a polyfunctional silane to an aqueous medium containing a nonionic surfactant, an anionic or cationic surfactant, and a catalyst; (ii) allowing the polyfunctional silane to hydrolyze; (iii) adding a cyclic siloxane to the aqueous medium containing the pre-hydrolyzed polyfunctional silane; (iv) copolymerizing the cyclic siloxane and the pre-hydrolyzed polyfunctional silane to form the organopolysiloxane; and (v) continuing copolymerizing step (iv) until the resulting organopolysiloxane has a viscosity greater than about 100,000,000 centipoise (mPa.multidot.s).
