Silicone acrylate copolymer compositions, i.e., silicone resin-acrylate copolymers and processes for their preparation. The silicone acrylate composition may comprise a silicone resin bonded to the acrylate polymer via a linking group. The silicone acrylate composition can be formed by preparing an acrylate or (meth) acrylate functional resin and conducting acrylate polymerization in the presence of a functionalizing resin. After the silane functional acrylate polymer is prepared, the reaction can be performed to bind the resin to the silane functional acrylate polymer. The resulting copolymer can then be used as needed and added to a mixture of, for example, silicon and acrylate to produce a non-separating blend. |
