Dataset on hydrophobicity indices and differential scanning calorimetry thermograms for poly(HEMA)-based hydrogels

Hydrophobicity indices for poly(HEMA)-based hydrogels: HEMA, AEMA, and DMAEMA calculated from two different methods: 1) Partition coefficients, and 2) Kyte-Doolittle scale are depicted. Thermograms from differential scanning calorimetry of poly(HEMA)-based hydrogels containing AEMA, DMAEMA, and a mixture of AEMA and DMAEMA are included to represent the glass transition temperature (T-g) values of the hydrogels. More information on the methodology to calculate the hydrophobicity indices using the aforementioned methods and the procedure for using a differential scanning calorimeter and analysis of a thermogram is described. Details of how the changes in the feed composition of poly(HEMA)-based hydrogels was made is provided in the research article 'MOLECULAR ENGINEERING OF POLY(HEMA-co-PEGMA)-BASED HYDROGELS: ROLE OF MINOR AEMA AND DMAEMA INCLUSION' (Bhat et al., 2019).[1].
