Abstract

High-resolution 23 Na NMR is used in conjunction with broad-line 1 H resonance and DSC to investigate the nature of water in PHEMA/saline systems. The introduction of sodium ions into the hydrated polymer system increases the nonfreezable water content and depresses devitrification. The Na + ions also decrease water mobility below 250 K, confirming sodium as a water-coordinating ion. A phase transition in hydrated PHEMA at 250 K is indicated
