Abstract
In a process for the preparation of an emulsion of a silicone organic block copolymer in water, a polydiorganosiloxane having terminal reactive groups (A), an organic material having terminal groups (B) which are reactive with the groups (A) and a catalyst are emulsified in water with a surfactant and the resulting emulsion is subjected to conditions under which the reaction between groups (A) and (B) proceeds in the presence of the catalyst, thereby forming a copolymer chain containing polysiloxane blocks and blocks of organic material. Preferred emulsions comprise a copolymer comprising polydiorganosiloxane blocks and organic blocks, having a viscosity in the range 10 to 1000000 Pa.s and a mean particle size of 0.3 to 1000 micrometers.
