Silicone compound having a radical-polymerizable group and a method for the preparation thereof

Abstract

The present invention provides a radical-polymerizable group-containing silicone compound which is liquid at room temperature and has good handling properties, has excellent reactivity and provides a cured product having an excellent oxygen permeability. Thus, the present invention provides a silicone compound represented by the following formula (1): wherein A is, independently of each other, a substituted or unsubstituted, linear or branched, divalent hydrocarbon group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, B is, independently of each other, a monovalent organosilicone residue having 2 to 20 silicon atoms, and X is a monovalent radical-polymerizable group or a monovalent group comprising said monovalent radical-polymerizable group. Further, the present invention provides a method for preparing the silicone compound.
