A hydrophilic silicone, compositions comprising the same, and articles comprising the same are shown and described herein. The hydrophilic silicone is an ionically modified silicone compound wherein the compound has a net neutral charge. The hydrophilic silicone compounds may be provided as part of a composition, e.g., a composition suitable for forming a hydrogel, which may be employed to form a film material and even an article (e.g., in a contact lens).

Ionically modified silicones, compositions, and medical devices formed therefrom

A hydrophilic siloxane copolymer of siloxane and hydrophilic organic monomer/s The copolymers can be functionalized to make them capable of undergoing further polymerization by thermal or actinic radiations. The hydrophilicity of these polymers can be varied by varying the siloxane versus organic monomer ratio thereby going from water dispersible to soluble states. The siloxane content can be tuned accordingly in order to provide moderate to high oxygen permeability. These copolymers can be used as a single component curable composition which results in hydrogels to minimize the presence of leachable components thus by reducing the processing cost. The polymers may also find applications in personal care formulations as copolymers, film-formers, hydrogels, coating, emulsions/latex etc.
