Polymerization products formed from a monomeric mixture comprising (a) one
or more first monomers of the general formula I:
A-L-R.sup.1--(X--CF.dbd.CF.sub.2).sub.n (I) wherein R.sup.1 represents
one or more inertly substituted groups; X is independently a group which
links the inertly substituted groups and the trifluorovinyl group; L is
an optional linking group; A is CO.sub.2Z, SO.sub.2Z, PO.sub.3Z, or
OPO.sub.3Z wherein Z is hydrogen or an alkali metal and n is an integer
of 1 to about 1000; (b) one or more second crosslinking monomers
comprising at least three trifluorovinyl groups and (c) one or more
prepolymers comprising one or more trifluorovinyl groups are provided.
Also provided are biomedical devices formed from such polymerization
products.
