Poly(2-hydroxypropyl methacrylate)

Poly(2-hydroxypropyl methacrylate) is a hydrophilic polymer with superior biocompatibility. It is used in biomedical and pharmaceutical applications due to its hydroxypropyl groups, which offer flexibility, water absorption, and functionalization potential.

Applications:

Drug Delivery: Forms hydrogel matrices for controlled therapeutic release.
Tissue Engineering: Supports cell growth in scaffold materials.
Coatings: Provides hydrophilic, bioinert coatings for medical devices.
Contact Lenses: Enhances moisture retention in soft lenses.
