Abstract 3‐O‐Allylglucose (1), allylglucoside (2) and sucrose‐allylether‐mixtures (3), respectively, protected by trimethylsilyl (TMS)‐groups have been used as unsaturated components in crosslinking of commercially available RTV silicone components. The resulting hydrophobic silicone rubbers were converted into hydrophilic types with covalently bonded sugar residues by hydrolysis to split off the TMS‐groups. Silicone rubbers with glucose residues exhibited equilibrium water contents (EWC) from 2 to 9% dependent on the molar ratio of 1 and 2, respectively, to the Si‐vinyl component. The mixtures 3 can be used as crosslinking agent without additional Si‐vinyl component to give EWC's of more than 30%.
