Tensile properties of poly(2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate) (PHEMA) sponges crosslinked with divinyl glycol (DVG) and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EDMA), two crosslinking agents having very di †erent hydrophilicity and reactivity, were compared. Crosslinking agent concentrations were varied from 0É5 t
