Poly Methyl Methacrylate

The unique versatility of polymers allows them to be manufactured into both commonly used house-hold items and specialised medical devices. ‘Plastic’ windows and contact lenses form one such example, as both are manufactured from the same material, called poly(methyl methacrylate), or PMMA.

New Type

A new type of structural color paint was fabricated by dispersing poly(methyl methacrylate-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PMH) nanoparticles in 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) solvent without additional surfactants. The paints then were directly cast to form structural color contact lenses by UV polymerization in moulds.
