Preparation and characterization of inorganic-organic trilayer core-shell polysilsesquioxane/polyacrylate/polydimethylsiloxane hybrid latex particles

► Functional polysilsesquioxane latex particles were prepared. ► Acrylate monomers and octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane grafted onto polysilsesquioxane. ► The obtained hybrid latex particles had trilayer core-shell structure. ► The hybrid latex film exhibited high hydrophobicity and low water absorption.
