✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Poly(2‐hydroxyethyl methacrylate)‐(PHEMA) has been prepared by polymerizing in presence of different types of water‐soluble additives, at various amounts, which were removed by swelling in water. Mechanical properties of swollen samples have been measured and analyzed by using the classical theory of rubber elasticity. Water permeability measurements were also performed to detect the presence of micropores and to determine the type of water transport. It has been shown that it's possible, using different types and amounts of additives, to obtain a wide range of physical properties of swollen PHEMA as required for various biomedical applications.

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

A limitation in the use of hydrophilic poly(2hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA) sponges as implantable devices is their inherently poor mechanical strength. This precludes proper surgical manipulation, especially in the eye where the size of the implant is usually small. In this study a new method w
