Patent number: 5498407Abstract: Hydrogels are polymers that swell in water and are hydrophilic. The degree and nature of cross linking and the crystallinity of the polymer are responsible for its properties in the swollen state, and the degree to which it imbibes water without the loss of shape is important in many natural hydrogel. Some natural hydrogels are used in the textile industry, pulp and paper production, artificial silk, cellulosic membranes, and biomedical applications. Synthetic hydrogels are used in soft lenses, prosthetic materials and membranes for controlled drug delivery.Poly-HEMA (poly 2 hydroxylthyl methacrylate) is the most widely used hydrogel. The properties of poly HEMA can be modified by cross linking to a certain degree but its hydrophilicity can be increased by the introduction of a second hydroxyl using various monomers. Also its strength will also improve by the addition of a comonomer.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 1994Date of Patent: March 12, 1996Inventor: Sheldon M. Atlas
