Abstract

The present invention relates to novel preformed silicone-containing acrylic copolymers including silicone-containing acrylic star polymers, graft copolymers and macromonomers. Described are linear diblock macromomomers, graft copolymers and star polymers comprising a substantially hydrophilic block or block and a substantially hydrophobic, permeable block or block, said hydrophilic block preferably comprising at least about 25% by weight of a hydrophilic acrylic-type monomer and said hydrophobic, permeable block comprising at least about 50% by weight of at least one or more polysiloxanylalkylesters of an alpha, beta unsaturated acid.
