Abstract:

Highlights•Minor compositional changes (~4 mol%) affect biotechnical properties of hydrogels.•Hydrogels of ~4 mol% hydrophilic AEMA or hydrophobic DMAEMA show similar hydration.•Hydrogel compositions show significant changes in bound and free water content.•Bound water correlates with modulus, electrical resistance, and albumin adsorption.
