“…In the last decades, several systems combining two or more polymers that respond to different external stimuli have been developed, such as the system vinyl pyridine and N-isopropylacrylamide onto polypropylene, (PP-g-VP)-g-NIPAAm, which is responsive to variations of temperature and pH [49]. The hydrogel obtained from the polymerization of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) is well known for its biocompatibility [50,51], its hydrophilic character [52,53], and its antimicrobial properties [54]. Thus, 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate is considered to have great potential in biotechnological applications.…”

“…One of the most important factors determining the properties and applications of a hydrogel is its water absorption characteristics. The swelling behavior of hydrogels is related to various parameters such as the equilibrium degree of swelling, the diffusion parameters and the cross-linker content [10][11][12][13].…”

In this study, poly[(N-vinyl imidazole)-co-(2-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate)] hydrogels with various mole percentages of monomers were prepared by free radical solution polymerization in aqueous media. N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide and 2,2'-azobisisobutyronitrile were used as cross-linker and initiator, respectively. A Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer, scanning electron microscope and thermogravimetric analyzer were used for the characterization of the hydrogels. The swelling behavior of the hydrogels in aqueous solution was investigated at pH 6.0 and 25°C. The results showed that swelling characteristics were affected by the 2-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate content of the copolymeric hydrogel. The swelling degree of hydrogels increased from 4.2 g g -1 to 25.4 g g -1 by increasing the 2-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate concentration from 0 to 15% with respect to the total moles of the monomers.

“…The hydrogel obtained from the polymerization of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) is well known for its biocompatibility (Wichterle and Lim, 1960;Hoffman, 2006), its hydrophilic character (Gregonis et al, 1978;Verhoeven et al, 1989), and its antimicrobial properties (Tomic et al, 2010). Thus, 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate is considered to have great potential in biotechnological applications.…”
