A complex mechanism characterizes the water uptake kinetics in hydrogels, as a consequence of the strong structural changes occurring in the material during the sorption process. The water sorption involves the transformation of a glassy, moderately crosslinked polymer in a rubbery material. In this

## Abstract Because of the unique properties for swelling in a fluid medium and variable modulus of elasticity, hydrophilic methacrylates may be of potential usefulness for implanting prosthetic devices in bone. To investigate the biocompatibility, electron micrographic studies were done on specime
A series of the 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate/3-dimethyl-(methacryloyloxyethyl)ammonium propane sulfonate (HEMA/DMAPS) copolymeric gels was prepared from various molar ratios of HEMA and the zwitterionic monomer DMAPS. The influence of the amount of the zwitterionic monomer in the copolymeric gels on
