SILICONE HYDROGEL INK BINDER FOR CONTACT LENSES

A silicone hydrogel ink binder includes (a) one or more colorants, (b) a solvent, and (c) a silicone copolymer including a reaction product of (i) a copolymerization product of a polymerization composition comprising (1) an alkylacrylamide monomer, (2) a hydroxyethyl acrylate monomer, (3) a non-bulky organosilicon-containing monomer having an ethylenically unsaturated reactive end group, and (4) a bulky siloxane monomer having an ethylenically unsaturated reactive end group, with (ii) a monomer having a reactive functionality complementary to the hydroxyl moiety of the hydroxyethyl acrylate monomer and a polymerizable ethylenically unsaturated reactive end group.

PARTICLE HYDROGEL WITH EXCELLENT MECHANICAL PROPERTIES, AND PREPARATION METHOD AND USE THEREOF

A preparation method of a particle hydrogel includes: mixing a gelatin nanoparticle, a calcium carbonate nanoparticle, an iron oxide nanoparticle, and a sodium alginate solution under alkaline conditions, and adding GDL to produce the particle hydrogel with improved mechanical properties, which is abbreviated as Ca-Alg/MCG. The present disclosure endows the hydrogel system with properties such as catheter injectability, vascular deliverability, and intravascular hardenability. The particle hydrogel can be delivered to fine blood vessels of tumors. The mechanical properties of the particle hydrogel can be gradually enhanced over time, which further improves the embolization efficacy of the particle hydrogel in blood vessels. Magnetic nanoparticles endow the particle hydrogel with magnetothermal responsiveness. Thus, the particle hydrogel can undergo a rapid temperature rise under an alternating magnetic field to further kill tumor cells. The particle hydrogel demonstrates improved embolization efficacy in rabbit renal embolization models and rabbit liver cancer-embolization models.
