General description

PEHMA exhibits biomimetic properties. It finds potential application as a flexible hydrogel for ophthalmologic applications.

Application

Poly(2-ethylhexyl methacrylate) (PEHMA) may be used to synthesize binary polymeric blends with poly(butyl methacrylate). PEHMA may be utilized in the preparation of PEHMA /carbon black composites for gas sensing. PHEMA-antioxidant conjugate (Quercetin (Q) ) may be prepared for ophthalmologic uses.
