Polyhydroxyethylmethacrylate

Polyhydroxyethylmethacrylate (PHEMA) is a water-soluble polymer derived from the polymerization of hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA). It is a type of polyacrylate and is known for its biocompatibility and hydrophilicity, making it useful in various biomedical and industrial applications. ### Key Characteristics: - **Water Solubility:** PHEMA can absorb water and swell, leading to the formation of a gel-like structure.
