Crosslinked poly(2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate) has been prepared by polymerizing 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate(HEMA) with crosslinkers such as ehyleng glycol dime- thacrylate(EGDMA), tetraethylene glycol dimethacrylate(TEGDMA), tetraethylene glycol diacrylate(TEGDA), divinyl benzene(DVB), and N, N-methylenebisacry- lamide(MAB) in the presence of initiator α , α -azobisisobutyronitrile at 60。C, The synthesized copolymers were identified by FT-lR spectrophotomether. The swelling properties of the crosslinked copolymers in various solvents such as water, methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, and n-butanol were investigated at different temperatures. The thermal properties of the crosslinked coplymers were also measured by differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) and thermogravimetry(TG)
