Claim:
A poly(alkyl ether)prepolymer of the general formula T-(P) n -T wherein n is 1 to about 100,000, T is independently of the general formula wherein L is an optional linking group and is independently a straight or branched C 1 -C 30 alkylene group, a C 3 -C 30 cycloalkylene group, a C 5 -C 30 aryl group, an ether group, a C 1 -C 20 ester group, an amide group, a siloxanyl, an arylsiloxanyl or a fluorosiloxanyl, R 1 independently represents one or more inertly substituted groups; X is independently a group which links the inertly substituted groups and the trifluorovinyl group; and P is independently an oxyalkylene radical of the general formula wherein R 2 and R 3 are independently hydrogen, a straight or branched C 1 -C 6 alkyl group, a C 3 -C 30 cycloalkyl group, a C 5 -C 30 aryl group, a straight or branched C 1 -C 6 fluoroalkyl group, a C 3 -C 30 fluorocycloalkyl group, a C 5 -C 30 fluoroaryl group, an ether group, a C 1 -C 20 ester group, an amide group an amine group, fluorine, a vinyl group, or a hydroxyl group and m is 1 to about 10.
