Introduction: Cataract is the leading cause of treatable blindness worldwide [1], and the population afflicted with cataract is increasing. The primary treatment for cataracts is...

This study examined the extent of organic solvent and water retention in comonomer blends with different hydrophilicity (Hoy’s solubility parameter for hydrogen bonding, δh) after solvent evaporation, and the extent of tracer penetration in polymerised films prepared from these resins. For each comonomer blend, adhesive/solvent mixtures were prepared by addition of [1] 50wt% acetone; [2] 50wt% ...
