Abstract: The material according to the invention is an acrylic copolymer, which is crosslinked, viscoelastic, flexible and deformable at room temperature and hydrophobic, of at least 50 wt % of acrylic or methacrylic monomers and cinnamic alcohol. The mixture of monomers preferably includes: —at least one arylalkoxy-acrylate or one arylalkoxy-methacrylate; at least one hydroxylated acrylate and one hydroxylated methacrylate; at least one ethoxylated diol diacrylate and one ethoxylated diol dimethacrylate; and cinnamic alcohol. Said material is obtained in a single step of radical polymerization and is presented in the form of a three-dimensional macromolecular network including a cinnamic alcohol unit. Said material is used for manufacturing intraocular lenses (1).

Abstract: The material according to the invention is a hydrophobic, cross-linked, acrylic copolymer of at least the following monomers: an arylalkoxy-acrylate different from a 2-phenoxy-(2-ethoxy)n-acrylate with 4?n?6; a 2-phenoxy-(2-ethoxy)n-acrylate with 4?n?6, preferably 2-phenoxy-tetraethylene-glycol acrylate; a hydroxylated acrylate; a hydroxylated methacrylate; an ethoxylated diol diacrylate; and an ethoxylated diol dimethacrylate. It is obtained in one single step of radical polymerization, in the presence of a transfer agent during the cross-linking. It thus has a physical structure corresponding to a three-dimensional macromolecular network with hanging chains. This material is used for manufacturing intraocular lenses (1) with low glistening that are not self-adhering.

Abstract: The material of the invention is obtained by radical polymerization from a mixture of acrylic and/or methacrylic monomers. The mixture further contains at least one transfer agent, preferably from the thiol family, that substantially enhances the flexibility of the polymer material thus obtained, and reduces the tackiness thereof. The polymer material thus obtained is intended for making ophthalmologic implants, and more particularly, intraocular lenses.
