Abstract
The surface and bulk properties of novel methacrylate polymers prepared by gelling poly(ethyl methacrylate) (PEMA) powder with different ratios of tetrahydrofurfuryl methacrylate (THFMA) and hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) monomers were investigated. The water adsorption and desorption characteristics of these polymers were measured in water and phosphate buffered saline (PBS). The desorption diffusion coefficients were higher than the...
