Abstract: In this study we prepared hydrogels based on 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA): PHEMA homopolymer and two terpolymers of HEMA, itaconic acid (IA) and two poly(alkylene glycol) (meth) acrylates (PAGM): poly(ethylene glycol) 6 acrylate (P(HEMA/IA/PAGM1)) and poly(propylene glycol) 5 methacrylate (P(HEMA/IA/PAGM2)). Hydrogels were synthesized by gamma-irradiated radical polymerization and subjected to swelling measurements and genotoxicity evaluation. Swelling studies confirmed that these hydrogels deserve consi… Show more

“…PHEMA-based biomaterials have been successfully applied in ophthalmology, wound dressings, hemodialysis membranes, controlled drug release systems, and devices for soft tissue reconstructive surgery [ 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 ]. These applications were enabled by favorable properties, such as hydrophilicity, swelling, biocompatibility, inertness, and tissue-like mechanical characteristics [ 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 ]. Apatites are known as one of the most remarkable inorganic materials in hard tissue replacement and reconstruction [ 58 ].…”
