Bacterial Growth Kinetics under a Novel Flexible Methacrylate Dressing Serving as a Drug Delivery Vehicle for Antiseptics [PDF]
A flexible methacrylate powder dressing (Altrazeal®) transforms into a wound contour conforming matrix once in contact with wound exudate. We hypothesised that it may also serve as a drug delivery vehicle for antiseptics.

Study on cluster formation of poly 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate functionalized single-walled carbon nanotubes [PDF]
Cluster-like network structures of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) were synthesized by chemical grafting poly 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (polyHEMA) to the sidewalls of SWNTs.

Water sorption by poly(tetrahydrofurfuryl methacrylate-co-2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate). I. A mass-uptake study [PDF]
Cylindrical samples (approximate to 5 mm x 20 mm) of poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) and copolymers of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate and furfuryl methacrylate were prepared, and the sorption of water into these cylinders was studied by the mass-uptake ...

Biocompatible Bacterial Cellulose-Poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) Nanocomposite Films [PDF]
A series of bacterial cellulose-poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) nanocomposite films was prepared by in situ radical polymerization of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), using variable amounts of poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) as crosslinker.

Hydroxyapatite promotes superior adhesion and proliferation of telomerase transformed keratocytes in comparison with inert plastic skirt materials used in leading contemporary keratoprostheses [PDF]
Aim: Published clinical series suggest the osteoodontokeratoprosthesis (OOKP) may have a lower extrusion rate than current synthetic keratoprostheses. The OOKP is anchored in the eye wall by autologous tooth.

Membrane synthesis by microemulsion polymerisation stabilised by commercial non-ionic surfactants [PDF]
Earlier works had demonstrated that microemulsion polymerisation is a well suited technique to produce nanostructured membranes if surfmers (polymerisable surfactants) are used to stabilise the primary template (sponge phase microemulsion).

Biological properties of copolymer of 2-Hydroxyethyl methacrylate with sulfopropyl methacrylate
Interaction of organism with non-toxic implanted polymers depends on the physicochemical properties of the implant surface, which influence the adsorption of bioactive proteins and subsequently adhesion and growth of cells. The synthetic hydrogels are known as poorly adhesive surfaces. In this study we demonstrated the adsorption of albumin, fibrinogen,
