Although they have potential environmental pollution issues, soft contact lenses are value-added biodevices for medical use. Thus, it is important to reconsider starting materials and production methods to achieve sustainable development. In this study, hydrogels composed of hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) as an environmentally friendly material were produced by radiation and investigated for use in disposable soft contact lenses. HPC-based hydrogels with good mechanical properties and transparency were prepared by irradiation of electron beams on highly concentrated aqueous solutions containing HPC, polyethylene glycol #1000 dimethacrylate (23G), and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA). The addition of 23G to HPC aqueous solutions resulted in an increase in the gel fraction as well as improved mechanical properties, such as tensile strength and elongation at break. The tensile strength and the elongation at break of HPC/HEMA/23G hydrogel obtained by the further addition of HEMA with HPC/23G aqueous solutions exhibited 0.2 MPa and 124%, which were approximately 2.0 and 1.8 times larger than these of the pure HPC hydrogel, respectively. The evaluation of the properties of the HPC/HEMA/23G hydrogel demonstrated its potential as a soft contact material with improved mechanical properties.
