ABSTRACT:
A hydrophilic copolymer of N,N-(C.sub.1 -C.sub.2 alkyl) acrylamide is disclosed. The copolymer is formed by reacting, based on 100 parts, from 20-80 parts of the C.sub.1 -C.sub.2 alkyl substituted acrylamide, 80-20 parts of C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl acrylates, methacrylates, or combinations, and small amounts of a cross-linking agent. The resulting copolymerization product can be equilibrated with water or other aqueous solutions to form hydrogels useful in forming shaped hydrogel articles. One particular shaped article which can be formed is a hydrophilic contact lens. A process for forming the hydrogels is also disclosed.
