Notes:
Several γ-alkoxy-β-hydroxypropyl acrylates were synthesized and polymerized. Both poly(MHPA) (IVd) and poly(MHPMA) (IVa) hydrogels possess high values of equilibrium water content, about seven and three times, respectively, that of the poly(β-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) hydrogel. These rather high values are attributed tentatively to the presence of a hydrophilic γ-methoxy-β-hydroxypropyl side group on the acrylic backbone.
