  • Aqueous emulsions of amine-functionalized organopolysiloxanes
    Patent number: 6552122
    Abstract: Aqueous emulsions of amine functionalized organopolysiloxane particles useful in personal care applications and methods for making are described. Useful compositions can be made by contacting at elevated temperatures, aqueous emulsions of organopolysiloxane particles having a volume average particle diameter in a range between about 300 nanometers and about 1 micron with an amine functionalized organosilicon source material, such as an aminoorganopolyalkoxysilane or an aminoorganopoly(diorganosiloxane) fluid.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 20, 2001
    Date of Patent: April 22, 2003
    Assignee: General Electric Company
    Inventors: Daniel Horace Craig, Wayne Francis Morgan

  • Method for making aqueous emulsions of functionalized organopolysiloxanes
    Patent number: 6214927
    Abstract: A method is provided for making aqueous emulsions of functionalized organopolysiloxane particles having a volume average particle diameter in a range between about 300 nanometers to about 1 micron. The aqueous silicone emulsions can be employed as part of a coating composition, for example, a shampoo, to impart improved surface characteristics.

  • Process for the synthesis of multi-modal aqueous dispersions of polysiloxanes
    Patent number: 5856402
    Abstract: A process for the acid-catalyzed synthesis of polysiloxane emulsions is discussed. The process comprises preheating an aqueous reaction mixture, optionally comprising polysiloxane emulsion seeds, and optionally containing a surfactant, to a temperature of up to about 110.degree. C. and adding to the aqueous reaction mixture, water, an acid catalyst surfactant, and a polysiloxane precursor to form a polysiloxane emulsion comprising essentially multi-modal, optionally multi-layered particles having desired multi-modal particle sizes in a range of from about 100 nm to about 2 microns.
