Abstract: The invention is directed to a biodegradable, phase separated, thermoplastic multi-block copolymer, to a process for preparing a biodegradable, phase separated, thermoplastic multi-block copolymer, to the use of a biodegradable, semi-crystalline, phase separated, thermoplastic multi-block copolymer, and to a composition for the delivery of at least one biologically active compound to a host. The biodegradable, phase separated, thermoplastic multi-block copolymer of the invention comprises at least one amorphous hydrolysable pre-polymer (A) segment and at least one semi-crystalline hydrolysable pre-polymer (B) segment, wherein said multi-block copolymer under physiological conditions has a Tg of 37° C. or less and a Tm of 50-110° C.

Abstract: The present invention relates a method for manufacturing an intraocular lens in a closed mold, wherein an acrylic monomer composition containing a single high refractive index monomer according to formula (I): is polymerized by employing an initiator that is activated by light having a wavelength of 390 nm or more.

Abstract: The present invention relates to high refractive index monomers according to formula (I) and (co)polymers comprising such high refractive index monomers. The 5 (co)polymers are highly suitable for the manufacture of optical articles, in particular flexible optical articles, more in particular intraocular lenses.

Abstract: The present invention relates a method for manufacturing an intraocular lens, wherein an acrylic monomer composition containing a single high refractive index monomer is polymerized. An intraocular lens obtainable by the method is also provided.

Abstract: Hydrogel contact lens comprising a polymer composition obtainable by polymerising a monomer mixture comprising (a) a betaine ester and (b) an alkyl (meth) acrylate. The hydrogel contact lens has a high affinity for water, high water content and a high water retaining capability and provides a contact lens wearer with a high wearing comfort.
