A bioadhesive composition formed by polymerising an aqueousnreaction mixture comprising from 5% to 50%, by weight of the reactionnmixture, of at least one ionic water soluble monomer, from 10% to 50%,nby weight of the reaction mixture, of at least one plasticiser (other thannwater), from 10% to 50%, by weight of the reaction mixture, of at leastnone nonionic water soluble monomer, from 3% to 40%, by weight of thenreaction mixture, of water, from 0.05% to 10%, by weight of thenreaction mixture, of at least one surfactant and from 1 % to 30%, bynweight of the reaction mixture of at least one hydrophobic monomernand/or polymer. |
