US 6,616,980 B2 · Emulsion polymerized acrylated silicone copolymer for wrinkle reduction

Abstract

A method of reducing wrinkles in fabric is disclosed wherein the method comprises the steps of: A) forming a coating of a carrier and a polymer on a fabric surface, wherein the polymer comprises a polymerized acrylated or methacrylated siloxane having a general formula: {R3SiO1/2}m{O1/2Si(R2)O1/2}n{SiO3/2R}o{SiO4/2}p wherein R is selected from R1 and P; each R1, which can be the same of different, is a monovalent hydrocarbon group; each P is R3[(CbH2bO)zCOCR4═CH2]g; R3 is a polyvalent organic moiety; g is a valency of R3; R4 is hydrogen or methyl; b is 2 to 4; z is 1 to 1000; m+n+p+o is equal to 1 to 100; at least one R is P; n is 1 to 100; n/o is less than 10:1; n/p is less than 10:1; and m is 0 to 10; B) smoothing the fabric surface; and C) removing the carrier from the fabric surface.
