The cytotoxicities of both homopolymers and copolymers of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and various alkyl acrylates (AA) were investigated using cell culture techniques. The particular alkyl acrylates used were methyl acrylate (MA), ethyl acrylate (EA) and butyl acrylate (BA). The AA contents o...
