## Abstract The transport of urea and other biologically interesting solutes in aqueous solution across poly(2βhydroxyethyl methacrylate) (pβHEMA) hydrogel membranes has been studied. The results show that pβHEMA membranes have a high permeability to urea due to a strong interaction between the pol

## 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
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
