Hydrogels Containing Core Cross-Linked Block Co-Polymer Micelles
Abstract
Poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (pHEMA) hydrogels loaded with core cross-linked PEG-b-PCL micelles with different morphologies (spherical and rod-like) were prepared and evaluated for use as drugeluting soft contact lenses. The relationship between the composition of micelle-loaded pHEMA hydrogels and properties such as transparency and swelling were determined. The incorporation of core crosslinked micelles into pHEMA hydrogels led to the …
