Silicone rubber has great advantages as a contact lens material because of its very high oxygen permeability, softness, and excellent mechanical strength and durability. Practical application is hampered by inherent characteristics of elastomers, i.e., high tackiness and highly hydrophobic surface p

## Abstract This study investigated the water contact angles of five commercially available silicone hydrogel contact lenses (Acuvue Advance, Acuvue Oasys, Focus Night & Day, O~2~ Optix, and PureVision) using sessile drop and captive bubble techniques. The only lens type that showed a significant d
## Abstract Silicone is an important biomaterial in many different biomedical and healthcare applications. Network formation in one type of silicone relies upon a chemical crosslinking reaction that typically employs a platinum catalyst. As a consequence, low concentrations of platinum may remain i
