Abstract

In this study, high oxygen permeable transparent hybrid copolymers were prepared with hydrophilic monomer such as 2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate (HEMA) or N,N-dimethylacrylamide (DMAA) and mono- or difunctional silicone macro-monomer introduced methacryl groups. In HEMA-based hybrid copolymers, difunctional silicone macro-monomer and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as cross-linker were required in order to prepare transparent hybrid materials, while high transparent DMAA-based hybrid copolymers could be prepared without EGDMA cross-linker. The polymerization kinetics investigation revealed that this difference between HEMA and DMAA in preparation condition to transparent hybrid material originated to monomer reactivity in copolymerization and DMAA showed high reactivity compared with HEMA. Moreover, DMAA-based hybrid copolymers indicated high water content and high oxygen permeability as against HEMA-based hybrid copolymers because of its low cross-linking density.
