Further developing on the technique originally intended for the purpose of forming tough hydrogels, we showed in this study that the double-network system can also be used to synthesize an injectable gel. The gel was made up of poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate, sodium alginic acid, and calcium chloride, and two networks, consisting of ionic and covalent networks, were found to co-exist in the gel. Additionally, the rheology studies showed that the mechanical properties of the gel only deteriorated under high strain, demonstrating the robustness of the gel upon injection. The results of a cell cytotoxicity test and a preliminary cell encapsulation study were promising, showing good cell compatibility and thus suggesting that the hydrogels could potentially be used for cell delivery.

This research was conducted to synthesis and application for high oxygen permeable ophthalmic lens materials. 2-(Trimethylsiloxy)ethyl methacrylate (2T), 3-[Tris(trimethylsiloxy)silyl]propyl methacrylate (3T), [(1,1-Dimethyl-2-propynyl)oxy]trimethylsilane (TMS), Poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (PEGMA), N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone (NVP) and titanium carbide nanoparticles were used as additives for the basic combination of synthesized silicone monomer (SiD) and N,N-Dimethylacetamide (DMA). And also, the materials were copolymerized with ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as the cross-linking agent, azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as the initiator. The copolymerization with a small amount of silane of about 1% increased the oxygen permeability to 30.3˜33.52(cm2/sec)·(mlO2/ml·mm Hg)·10−11, and in particular, the addition of titanium carbide nanoparticles was found to increase to 46.38 (cm2/sec)·(ml O2/ml·mm Hg)·10−11. Surface modification was possible with various wetting agents. Especially, simultaneous use with titanium carbide nanoparticles increased the wettability while maintaining water content. These materials are considered to make synergy effect each other, so it can be used in functional hydrogel ophthalmic lenses.

The surface wettability of thermo-responsive random poly (ethylene glycol methyl ether methacrylate-co-triethylene glycol methyl ether methacrylate), abbreviated as P(MEOMA-co-MEO3MA), was investigated in thin film. UV-Vis spectroscopy shows that the LCST of P(MEOMA-co-MEO3MA) with molar ratios of 0:20, 6:14 and 9:11 were 43°C, 32 oC and 25 oC, respectively. LCST shifts towards lower temperature when molar ratio of MEOMA increases. ATR-FTIR indicates that P(MEOMA-co-MEO3MA) thin film experienced a collapse when the temperature passes its LCST. The contact angle of the paraffin oil on the film decreases 15o when the temperature is above its LCST, which confirms the surface wettability can be controlled. Atomic force microscopy shows the surface of the swollen thin film becomes rougher when above it LCST.
