<p>A macromonomer of the formula (I): Q-B(L-B)nT is described, wherein n is zero or at least 1.0; Q is a polymerizable group; B may be the same or different and is a difunctional block of molecular weight in the range of from 100 to 8000 and wherein at least one B is a residue from a difunctional polymer or copolymer wherein B has a molecular weight of 248 to 8000 comprising silicone repeat units of formula (II), where R1 and R2 may be the same or different and are selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, aryl, haloalkyl, haloalkenyl, haloalkynyl, haloaryl, heterocyclyl and haloheterocyclyl; L is a difunctional linking group; and T is a terminal group. The macromonomer may be used preferably in the production of contact lenses.</p> |
