A silicone-polyether copolymer has the formula X[ZY], where each X is an independently selected silicone moiety having a particular structure, each Y is an independently selected polyether moiety, each Z is an independently selected siloxane moiety, subscript c is from 1 to 150, subscript g is &#x3e;1, and each subscript j and o are independently &#x3e;0 and &#x3c;2, with the proviso that j+o=2 in each moiety indicated by subscript c. A method of preparing the silicone-polyether copolymer is also disclosed, and comprises reacting a polyether compound, a chain extending organosilicon compound, and an endcapping organosilicon compound in the presence of a hydrosilylation catalyst. A sealant is also disclosed, the sealant comprising the silicone-polyether copolymer and a condensation-reaction catalyst.

An isocyanate-functional silicone-polyether copolymer having a particular structure is disclosed. A method of preparing the isocyanate-functional silicone-polyether copolymer is also disclosed, the method comprising reacting a polyether compound and an organosilicon compound to give the isocyanate-functional silicone-polyether copolymer. A silicone-polyether-urethane copolymer formed therewith, as well as a method of preparing the silicone-polyether-urethane copolymer, are also disclosed. Sealants comprising the isocyanate-functional silicone-polyether copolymer and/or the silicone-polyether-urethane copolymer are further disclosed.
