## Abstract Implantable, sustained release drug delivery devices offer benefits not obtained through oral ingestion or injection. These include delivery at a constant therapeutic rate, thus avoiding adverse intermittent and massive dose effects, as well as reliance upon patients taking their prescr

## Abstract 2‐Hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) based polymeric hydrogels were synthesized by free‐radical redox bulk polymerization technique using 1% ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as crosslinking monomer and ammonium persulfate (APS) and __N__,__N__,__N__′,__N__′‐tetramethyl ethylenediamin
## Abstract Because of the ability of polymers to exist in glassy, rubbery or solvent‐swollen forms which have very different diffusion coefficients they are able to be used very effectively to control the release of incorporated drugs. As the polymers can vary from inert __in vivo__ to biodegradab
