The elastic and swelling behavior of copolymers of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, diethylene glycol methacrylate, and methacrylic acid crosslinked with ethylene glycol dimethacrylate has been studied. In the range of copolymer composition studied, Young's modulus of the swollen networks increases with

A strip of partially hydrolyzed poly (2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) containing 65%-75% H 2 0 was implanted intv the antenor eye chamber of 11 Chinchilla rabbits. No pathological changes were found in the iris or in the ciliary body. The pathological findings in the cornea accompanying implantation of
## Abstract Polymers are widely used in medicine for vascular prostheses, bone substitutes, and devices for controlled release. Among these polymers, poly(2‐hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (pHEMA) is the most employed. To confer particular properties, pHEMA can be copolymerized with other monomers or in
