The oxygen permeability and diffusion coefficients of hydrogel membranes prepared with copolymers of 2-ethoxyethyl methacrylate (EEMA)/2,3-dihydroxypropylmethacrylate (MAG) with mole fraction of the second monomer in the range between 0 and 0.75 are described. Values of the permeability and diffusion coefficients

Development of improved hydrogels for soft intraocular lenses, based on 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate monomer, requires the use of various other monomers and polymerization additives which have potential ocular toxicity. Three monomers, 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, methyl methacrylate, and 2-ethoxyethyl methacrylate, as well as

Rupture properties of soft lining materials are characterized by their resistance to tearing. The energy necessary for their rupture depends upon rate of deformation, temperature, and conditions of storage or use. After storage in water for six months, some silicone
Dynamic simulation method to characterise oxygen transport in hydrogel membranes.

We examined the regulation of collagenase production by the monocyte/macrophage THP-1 cell line when these cells were exposed to poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA) hydrogel surfaces with different chemistries and morphologies. Tissue culture modified polystyrene (TCP), used as a control surface, induced
