The nano-emulsions consisting of water, block methyl silicone rubber and composite surfactants were prepared by emulsion inversion point （EIP） method. The effect of the chemical structure and hydrophilic-lipophilic balance value on the stability of the silicone rubber emulsions was examined and then the composite system of nonionic surfactant and anionic suffactant was determined. The influence of the suffactant type and the ratio of the composite suffactants and concentration on the stability of the silicone rubber nano-emulsion properties was also investigated. The mechanism of EIP was analyzed. The properties of the elastomer obtained by vulcanizing the silicone rubber emulsion were tested. The results showed that the particle size of the silicone rubber nano-emulsion characterized by dynamic light scattering was about 57 nm, meanwhile, the emulsion kept stable after centrifuged for 30 min with 3 000 r/rain when the polyethylene glycol mono-dodecyl ether was mixed with sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate at a mole ratio of 1：1 and the composite suffactants concentration was 10%. The density, hardness, tensile strength and elongation at break of the waterborne elastomer was 0.98 g/cm^3, 43 HA, 1.69 MPa and 178.68% respectively, which were similar with that of the solvent-based silicone rubber elastomer.
