    摘要: The invention provides a contact lens manufacturing method comprising a process for removing unprocessed molded silicone hydrogel contact lenses from mold halves in a relatively efficient and consistent manner. The method of the invention involves using a silicone fluid (or so-called silicone oil) as non-reactive diluent in SiHy lens formulation for making SiHy contact lenses. Resultant SiHy contact lenses cast-molded from such a SiHy lens formulation can have a significantly reduced adhesion force with the molding surfaces of a lens mold and consequently a higher efficiency and consistency in removing unprocessed molded SiHy contact lenses from mold halves can be achieved. This method of the invention can be easily implemented in a production environment for enhancing the production yield.

    摘要: In some aspects, a system for forming a hydrogel composition is described that comprises (a) a multifunctional cyclic carbonate compound and (b) a radiopaque, reactive polymer that comprises a plurality of amino groups that are reactive with the multifunctional cyclic carbonate groups of the multifunctional cyclic carbonate compound. In other aspects, a radiopaque crosslinked hydrogel composition is described that comprises a crosslinked reaction product of a multifunctional cyclic carbonate compound and a radiopaque, reactive polymer that comprises a plurality of amino groups. In further aspects, a method of treatment is described that comprises administering to a subject a mixture that comprises a multifunctional cyclic carbonate compound and a radiopaque, reactive polymer that comprises a plurality of amino groups, wherein the mixture is administered under conditions such that the multifunctional cyclic carbonate compound and the radiopaque, reactive multi-arm polymer crosslink after administration.

    摘要: This application relates to a bifunctional and flexible hydrogel optical fiber, a preparation method and an application thereof. Raw materials of a fiber core include polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA), methacrylamide, 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and 2,2-diethoxy-phenylacetophenone (DMPA); raw materials of an intermediate fiber layer include Synechococcus cells, PEGDA, gelatin methacrylate (GelMA), anhydrous strontium chloride and DMPA; and raw materials of a cladding include PEGDA, methacrylamide, sodium alginate and DMPA. A continuous and controllable direct oxygen supply function is provided through an optical fiber structure.
