Abstract
Hydrogels (crosslinked polymers with a definite water content) with glucose moieties, prepared by radical copolymerization of 3-0-methacryloyl-1,2; 5,6-diisopropylidene-α-D-glucofuranose, 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, the crosslinker ethylene glycol dimethacrylate and acid hydrolysis of the isopropylidene protecting groups, were examined for linear expansion to hydration, weight-percent hydration, water content on a dry basis, refractive index, oxygen permeability and the percental transmission of visible light.Key words3-0-methacryloyl-1,2,5,6-diisopropylidene-α-D-glucofuranosecontact lensespolymethacrylates with glucose moietieshydrogels with glucose moietiesoxygen permeabilityHEMA
