Process for preparing silicone (meth)acrylate particles, comprising the steps of a) obtaining an emulsion composed of water and an organic phase, said organic phase comprising organopolysiloxanes which have been modified terminally and/or laterally with (meth)acrylate groups and are of the general formula or mixtures thereof where R 1 = identical or different radicals selected from linear or branched, saturated, monounsaturated or polyunsaturated, linear, cyclic or branched alkyl, alkoxy, polyalkoxy, hydroxyalkyl, hydroxyalkoxy, alkenyl, aryl, aryloxy, hydroxyaryl, hydroxyaryloxy, alkaryl, alkaryloxy, hydroxyalkaryl, hydroxyalkaryloxy, aralkyl, aralkoxy, hydroxyaralkyl or hydroxyaralkoxy radicals which optionally contain one or more ether or ester bridges and have 1 to 20 carbon atoms, R 2 = identical or different divalent, optionally OH-functionalized hydrocarbon radicals which optionally contain one or more ether or ester bridges, are bonded to the silicon atom via an Si-C linkage or an Si-O-C linkage, have 1 to 20 carbon atoms and to which are bonded, via ester bonds, 1 to 5 acrylic acid and/or methacrylic acid units and optionally monocarboxylic acid units having 2 to 10 carbon atoms, which are free of double bonds capable of polymerization, R 3 = identical or different R 1 or R 2 radicals, a = 0 to 1000, b = 0 to 200, c = 0 to 200, a d = 0 to 1000, b d = 0 to 200, where the index d, when c > 0, is an integer > 0, with the proviso that when b and c = 0, R 3 must not be selected from the same group as R 1, with addition of at least one emulsifier and optionally of one or more coemulsifiers, where the organic phase forms the inner phase of the emulsion, and b) polymerizing the inner phase to completion in the presence of a free-radical initiator which is added to the outer, aqueous phase in a concentration of 0.1 to 40% by weight based on the inner phase. a) obtaining an emulsion composed of water and an organic phase, said organic phase comprising organopolysiloxanes which have been modified terminally and/or laterally with (meth)acrylate groups and are of the general formula or mixtures thereof where R 1 = identical or different radicals selected from linear or branched, saturated, monounsaturated or polyunsaturated, linear, cyclic or branched alkyl, alkoxy, polyalkoxy, hydroxyalkyl, hydroxyalkoxy, alkenyl, aryl, aryloxy, hydroxyaryl, hydroxyaryloxy, alkaryl, alkaryloxy, hydroxyalkaryl, hydroxyalkaryloxy, aralkyl, aralkoxy, hydroxyaralkyl or hydroxyaralkoxy radicals which optionally contain one or more ether or ester bridges and have 1 to 20 carbon atoms, R 2 = identical or different divalent, optionally OH-functionalized hydrocarbon radicals which optionally contain one or more ether or ester bridges, are bonded to the silicon atom via an Si-C linkage or an Si-O-C linkage, have 1 to 20 carbon atoms and to which are bonded, via ester bonds, 1 to 5 acrylic acid and/or methacrylic acid units and optionally monocarboxylic acid units having 2 to 10 carbon atoms, which are free of double bonds capable of polymerization, R 3 = identical or different R 1 or R 2 radicals, a = 0 to 1000, b = 0 to 200, c = 0 to 200, a d = 0 to 1000, b d = 0 to 200, where the index d, when c > 0, is an integer > 0, with the proviso that when b and c = 0, R 3 must not be selected from the same group as R 1, with addition of at least one emulsifier and optionally of one or more coemulsifiers, where the organic phase forms the inner phase of the emulsion, and R 1 = identical or different radicals selected from linear or branched, saturated, monounsaturated or polyunsaturated, linear, cyclic or branched alkyl, alkoxy, polyalkoxy, hydroxyalkyl, hydroxyalkoxy, alkenyl, aryl, aryloxy, hydroxyaryl, hydroxyaryloxy, alkaryl, alkaryloxy, hydroxyalkaryl, hydroxyalkaryloxy, aralkyl, aralkoxy, hydroxyaralkyl or hydroxyaralkoxy radicals which optionally contain one or more ether or ester bridges and have 1 to 20 carbon atoms, R 2 = identical or different divalent, optionally OH-functionalized hydrocarbon radicals which optionally contain one or more ether or ester bridges, are bonded to the silicon atom via an Si-C linkage or an Si-O-C linkage, have 1 to 20 carbon atoms and to which are bonded, via ester bonds, 1 to 5 acrylic acid and/or methacrylic acid units and optionally monocarboxylic acid units having 2 to 10 carbon atoms, which are free of double bonds capable of polymerization, R 3 = identical or different R 1 or R 2 radicals, a = 0 to 1000, b = 0 to 200, c = 0 to 200, a d = 0 to 1000, b d = 0 to 200, b) polymerizing the inner phase to completion in the presence of a free-radical initiator which is added to the outer, aqueous phase in a concentration of 0.1 to 40% by weight based on the inner phase.
