Q

compare hydrogel and sihy in terms of DK, water content, modulus, and wettability

A

hydrogel:
lower dk
water content 30-78%
lower modulus (harder to handle, more comfy)
more hydrophillic, more wettable but attracts more protein)

SiHy:
higher dk
water content 33-56%
higher modulus (easier to handle, less comfy)
less wettable (attracts more lipids)
