| abstract |
The present invention describes a free-radical-polymerizable macromer of the formula (I) based on an unsubstituted or symmetrically substituted perfluoroalkyl ether, which is a polymer comprising the product of the polymerization of a novel macromer (alone or together with at least one vinylic comonomer). It is a process for the preparation of a macromer and a polymer. Moldings, contact lenses, corneal implants and biomedical articles are made from a polymer; these articles are coated with a macromer of the formula (I). |
