ABSTRACT
Poly (hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA) hydrogel for intraocular lens (IOL) materials was synthesized by solution polymerization using 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) as raw material, ammonium persulfate and sodium pyrosulfite (KPS/SMBS) as catalyst, and trietyleneglycole dimethacrylate (TEGDMA) as cross-linking additive. Effects of reaction time, temperature, dosage of catalyst and cross-linking additive on mechanical strength and the equilibrium water content (EWC) of the PHEMA hydrogel were systematically investigated and their structure and optical property were also characterized. The experimental results showed that the optimum conditions for preparing PHEMA hydrogel are catalyst 0.5 wt%, cross-linking additive 1.0 wt%, reaction temperature 40 degrees C, reaction time 36 h. Under the optimum conditions, the tensile strength of PHEMA hydrogel prepared is as high as 0.57 MPa, hardness of Shore A is 23.0, EWC is over 40%, and light transmittance is over 97%.
