1. A method comprising:
a) forming a pre-emulsion by combining a monomer composition with a siloxane-containing composition in water, the monomer composition including one or more monomers selected from the group consisting of (meth)acrylic acid monomers, (meth)acrylic monomers, vinyl functional monomers, and combinations thereof; and
b) polymerizing the pre-emulsion by combining the pre-emulsion with a radical initiator in a reactor to form a reaction mixture that polymerizes into an emulsion polymer,
wherein the siloxane-containing composition includes a siloxane having structure 1, 2, or 3:
![]() wherein:
a, b, and m are each independently 1 to 100;
R1, R3 are each independently C1-10 alkyl, C6-14 aryl, C6-15 heteroaryl, —NH2, —R4—OH, —R4—NH2, epoxy group, vinyl group, hydrogen, or acrylate group;
R2 is C1-10 alkyl, C6-14 aryl, C6-15 heteroaryl, —NH2, —R4—OH, —R4—NH2, hydrogen, or acrylate group; and
R4 is a C1-10 alkenylene group and wherein the siloxane having structure 1 or 3 is functionalized with amino, hydroxyl, epoxy, vinyl, or acrylate groups and the siloxane having structure 2 is functionalized with amino, hydroxyl, or acrylate groups.
