Waterborne alkyd-acrylic hybrid resins that combine the benefits of alkyd resin’s high bio-based content，air-oxidation cross-linking and acrylic resin’s fast drying，high hardness. Along with the current increase in environmental awareness and the increasingdemand for bio-based alternatives to fossil fuels，waterborne alkyd-acrylic hybrid resin had been widely investigated. In order to provide reference for researchers engaged in the development of waterborne alkyd-acrylic hybrid resin，the article introduced domestic and foreign methods for the preparation of waterborne alkyd-acrylic hybrid resin，which mainly included physical mixing method，graft co-polymerization method，and local condensation method. Meanwhile，the various methods mentioned above for the preparation of waterbornealkyd-acrylic hybrid resin were also evaluated. Finally，suggestions were put forward for thefuture development trend of waterborne alkyd-acrylic hybrid resin，such as physical blending method could be applied to prepare the hybrid blends of alkyd secondary dispersion and acrylic primary dispersions，as well as solution graft co-polymerization method could be used to prepare the acrylic graft-modified alkyd secondary dispersions.
