ATRP Surface Modification of Contact Lenses for Improving Lens Comfort by Interacting of PolyAPBA and Polysaccharide Wetting Agents

摘要

ATRP incorporation of polyAPBA onto the model contact lens surfaces was achieved. The characterization result suggests a stronger interaction between the surface and the wetting agent than that of material from general free radical polymerization. These modified contact lenses have potential to reduce dry eye syndrome and discomfort related to contact lens wear.
