Poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylates) (PHEMAs) structurally modified by means of polymer blends and random copolymers are intensively studied in order to improve mechanical properties. It was recently shown that a hydroxyapatite coating, which should improve the bonding of this biomaterial to the bone,

## Abstract The wettability characteristics of the contact lens material, PHEMA, with respect to water have been determined by using the sessile drop, and the captive air bubble techniques of contact angle goniometry. It is concluded that on PHEMA gels water does not spread spontaneously. Large hys
Films were prepared by reaction of HEMA monomer with the crosslinking agent ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) at crosslinking ratios, X, of 0.005, 0.01, 0.0128, 0.025, and 0.050 mol EGDMA/mol HEMA in the presence of 40 wt. % water at 60ยฐC for 12 h. These membranes were subsequently swollen in wa
