Abstract: A method of manufacturing a water-based silicone type graft copolymer emulsion in which silicone (a macromonomer) having a radical polymerizable functional group and another vinyl monomer are, under presence of a surface active agent having a radical polymerizable functional group, emulsified and dispersed to a particle size of 0.5 .mu.m or less, and the temperature is raised to copolymerize the emulsified and dispersed material. In the macromonomer, a macromonomer with a silicone structural unit repetition number n of less than 20 is contained in a quantity of 5 to 80 wt %.

Abstract: A silicone copolymer emulsion comprising:(A) 10 to 90 wt % of a silicone component containing(i) 5 to 60 wt % of compound (a) and(ii) 95 to 40 wt % of a crosslinkable silicone;(B) 90 to 10 wt % of a copolymerizable monomer; and(C) a curing catalyst,said compound (a) being expressed by the following formula (1): ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 denote alkyl, phenyl, (meth)acryloxyalkyl and the like.
