The preparation of poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) and poly{(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate)-co-[poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate]} by photoinitiated polymerisation-induced phase separation in water

This paper describes the application of a photoinitiated polymerisation-induced phase separationmethod to the preparation of PHEMA and P[HEMA-co-(MeO-PEGMA)] hydrogels. PHEMA sponges having a morphology of agglomerated polymer droplets and interconnected pores were easily prepared from aqueous mixtu...
