<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide hydrophilic coating compositions for surgical implants, particularly ophthalmic implants comprising silicone, hydrophobic acrylic or hydrogel materials. <P>SOLUTION: There are provided covalently-bound, hydrophilic copolymer coatings for implants. The copolymer coatings comprise 2-phenylethyl (meth)acrylate, a hydrophilic monomer that is selected from the group consisting of hydroxyalkyl (meth)acrylates; polyethylene glycol(200-500) mono(meth)acrylates; polyethylene glycol(200-500) monomethylether mono(meth)acrylates; and acrylamides, and a cross-linking agent. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
