Abstract: Silicone compositions are provided which comprises the reaction product of at least one hydride-functional silicone, at least one imsaturated-functional silicone and at least one epoxy or oxetane functional silicone. The silicone compositions are capable of being cured by two different curing modalities or capable of simultaneous curing utilizing those different curing modalities. The resulted silicone compositions have dramatically improved hydrophilicity, physical properties and optical properties.
