The structure of silicone rubber-hydrogel composite materials was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and light microscopy. The polymer phases in these materials composed of the polysiloxane matrix and very small particles of lightly cross-linked poly(2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate) or poly(2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate-co-methacrylic acid) were visualized using both methods. The distribution of polymer phases was studied by SEM of fracture surfaces of the materials. The results are discussed in relation to the transport properties of the materials.
