Abstract
A series of novel transparent shape memory co-polymers, made from (meth)acrylate monomers, intended to be used as intraocular lens, was synthesized. The thermo-mechanical properties, shape memory properties and optical properties of the co-polymers could be adjusted by using monomers with various alkyl chain lengths. The cytocompatibility of the prepared co-polymers to L929 mouse connective tissue fibroblasts was demonstrated in vitro, and the co-polymers exhibited favorable cytocompatibility, supporting cell viability and proliferation. This study showed that the prepared co-polymers, which exhibited good flexibility, adjustable shape memory properties, high transparency and favorable cytocompatibility, could find great promising applications as intraocular lens.
