Abstract

Calorimetric measurements have been carried out to determine to which extent water interacts with p-HEMA gels and with p-(HEMA+MAA) gels. It appeared, that 0.14 g water/g dry p-HEMA and 0.23 g water/g dry p-(HEMA+MAA) show strong negative enthalpy changes on sorption in the polymer, the enthalpy changes being −180 J/g and −360 J/g water respectively.
