Application

  • Hydrogen-bonds structure in poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) studied by temperature-dependent infrared spectroscopy: Investigates the hydrogen-bond structure in poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA) using temperature-dependent IR spectroscopy. (S Morita, 2014).
  • Transparent and tough poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) hydrogels prepared in water/IL mixtures: Describes the development of tough and transparent PHEMA hydrogels for potential use in various biomedical applications. (Y Liu et al., 2020).
  • Reduced cell attachment to poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate)-coated ventricular catheters in vitro: Examines how PHEMA coatings can reduce cell attachment, which is beneficial for biomedical devices like catheters. (BW Hanak et al., 2018).
  • Surface modification of poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) hydrogel for contact lens application: Studies modifications to PHEMA hydrogels to improve their suitability for contact lens applications. (M Kazemi Ashtiani, M Zandi, 2018).

The mechanism causing variability in DNA transfection efficacy for low-molecular-weight pDMAEMA (poly(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) and pDMAEMA-b-pHEMA (poly(2-(dimethyl amino)ethylmethacrylate)-block-poly(2-hydroxyl methacrylate)) has so far remained unclear, apart from the evidence of beneficial effects of the pHEMA grafting. This study has explicitly characterized the

To evaluate the performance of a sphere-templated poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (poly[HEMA]) tissue scaffold as a subcutaneous implant by comparing it with widely used high-density porous polyethylene (HDPPE) implant material. We implanted sphere-templated porous poly-(HEMA) and HDPPE disks into the dorsal subcutis
