A silicon containing adduct having the formula (I) wherein X is an electron withdrawing group selected from the group consisting of carbonyl and sulphone groups, sulphonium and phosphonium salts; R is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, linear and branched alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, cycloalkynyl, aryl, alkaryl, aralkyl, alkoxyaryl, alkoxyalkyl, oligoalkoxyalkyl, di-alkylaminoalkyl, N-aryl-N-alky-laminoalkyl, hydroxyalkoxy, alkoxy, alkenyloxy, alkynyloxy, cycloalkoxy, cycloalkenyloxy, cycloalkynyloxy, aralkoxy, alkoxyaryloxy, alkoxyalkoxy, oligoalkoxyalkoxy, di-alkylaminoalkoxy, N-aryl-N-alkylamino-alkoxy, acyloxy, acyloxyalkyl, N-diacyl-iminoalkyl groups, organosilane, organosiloxane, hydroxyaryl, hydroxyalkenyl, hydroxyalkynyl and hydroxy groups and any of the above groups substituted with one or more hydroxyl or xzwitterionic group Z, or R&#x2014;X&#x2014; is a nitrile group; Rand Rare individually selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, linear and branched alkyl, alkenyl, and alkynyl groups, aryl, alkoxycarbonyl, alkylaminocarbonyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, cycloalkynyl, haloaryl, haloalkyl, alkaryl, aralkyl, alkoxyaryl, alkoxyalkyl, oligoalkoxyalkyl, aminoalkyl, mono- and di-alkylaminoalkyl, arylaminoalkyl, N-aryl-N-alkylaminoalkyl and -aminoaryl, acyloxy, acyloxyalkyl, acylaminoalkyl, N-diacyl-iminoalkyl groups, alkylaminocarbonyl, oxacycloalkyl, oxacycloalkenyl, organosilane and organosiloxane groups and any of the above groups substituted with a zwitterionic group Z, a hydroxyl group or an isocyanate group; Rand Rare individually selected from hydrogen and Calkyl groups; and at least one of groups R, R, and Rcontain an organosiloxane group Y and/or an organosilane group U. The invention additionally provides processes for the production of such an adduct, polymers formed therefrom, coating processes and compositions comprising an adduct or polymers produced therefrom 

Silicon containing compounds

A method in which a mould is coated with a reactive polymer, a liquid curable composition is filled into the mould and cured under conditions such that the reactive polymer becomes covalently bonded to the cured bulk mould material at the interface. The reactive polymer has zwitterionic groups to confer improved biocompatibility on the moulded product. The reactive group on the reactive polymer is conveniently an ethylenically unsaturated group. The curable composition is suitably a radical polymerisable ethylenically unsaturated monomer mixture or a platinum-curable liquid silicone composition.
