ORGANO MODIFIED SILICONE POLYMERS

摘要

A linear silicone polymer suitable for use in producing homopolymers copolymers polymerized emulsions latex compositions and hydrogel polymer films. In one aspect a hydrophilic silicone monomer is of the Formula 1 : Where A is a divalent block comprising a silicone containing pendant group. In one embodiment the silicone containing pendant group comprises polyalkylene oxide groups. The structure of the polymer can be controlled and tuned to provide a material with excellent wettability and oxygen permeability. The polymers are suitable for use in a variety of applications including in providing a film for forming contact lenses.
