## Abstract In this study, a series of hydrogels was synthesized by free radical polymerization, namely poly(2‐(hydroxyethyl)methacrylate) (pHEMA), poly(4‐(hydroxybutyl)methacrylate) (pHBMA), poly(6‐(hydroxyhexyl)methacrylate) (pHHMA), and copolymers composed of __N__‐isopropylacrylamide (NIPAA), m
