Polymeric beads and methods of making the polymeric beads are described. The polymeric beads are crosslinked hydrogels or dried hydrogels. The polymeric beads are formed from droplets of a precursor composition that are exposed to radiation. The droplets are totally surrounded by a gas phase. The precursor composition contains a polar solvent and a polymerizable material miscible in the polar solvent. The polymerizable material has an average number of ethylenically unsaturated groups per monomer molecule equal to at least 1.2.

The method of claim 1, wherein the polymerizable material comprises a poly(alkylene oxide) (meth)acrylate) having at least 20 alkylene oxide units. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the poly(alkylene oxide (meth)acrylate) has a weight average molecular weight no greater than 2000 g/mole. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the method further comprises removing at least a portion of the polar solvent from the first swollen bead to form a dried bead. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the precursor composition further comprises an active agent. 6. The method of claim 5, wherein the active agent comprises a bioactive agent. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the precursor composition further comprises a photoinitiator and the radiation comprises actinic radiation. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the method further comprises removing at least a portion of the polar solvent from the first swollen bead to form a dried bead; andcontacting the dried bead with a sorbate for a time sufficient for the dried bead to sorb at least a portion of the sorbate to form a second swollen polymeric bead, wherein the sorbate comprises at least one active agent. 9. The method of claim 8, wherein the method further comprises drying the second swollen polymeric bead. 10. A method of preparing an article comprising a polymeric bead, the method comprising: providing a precursor composition comprising a) greater than 10 weight percent to 85 weight percent polar solvent based on a total weight of the precursor composition, wherein the polar solvent is not a monomer and wherein the polar solvent is water, a water-miscible organic solvent, or a mixture thereof; andb) 15 weight percent to less than 90 weight percent polymerizable material based on the total weight of the precursor composition, the polymerizable material being capable of free-radical polymerization and having an average number of ethylenically unsaturated groups per monomer molecule equal to at least 1.5 based on all of the polymerizable material in the precursor composition, the polymerizable material being miscible in the polar solvent and comprising i) a poly(alkylene oxide (meth)acrylate) having at least 2 (meth)acryloyl functionality groups and having at least 10 alkylene oxide units; andii) 0 to less than 20 weight percent anionic monomer based on a total weight of polymerizable material in the precursor composition, wherein the anionic monomer comprises an ethylenically unsaturated group in addition to an acidic group, a salt of the acidic group, or a mixture thereof;forming a droplet of the precursor composition, wherein the droplet is totally surrounded by a gas phase; andexposing the droplet to radiation for a time sufficient to at least partially polymerize the polymerizable material and to form a first swollen bead. 11.

The method of claim 17, wherein the active agent comprises an ethylenically unsaturated group and a photoinitiator, the method further comprises exposing the second swollen polymeric bead to actinic radiation. 19. The method of claim 17, wherein the method further comprises drying the second swollen polymeric bead. 20. An article comprising a polymeric bead having no discernible pores or voids when viewed with a scanning electron microscope with a magnification up to 50 times, wherein the polymeric bead comprises a free-radical polymerization reaction product of a precursor composition comprising a) greater than 10 weight percent to no greater than 85 weight percent polar solvent based on a total weight of the precursor composition, wherein the polar solvent is not a monomer and wherein the polar solvent is water, a water-miscible organic solvent, or a mixture thereof; andb) 15 weight percent to less than 90 weight percent polymerizable material based on the total weight of the precursor composition, the polymerizable material being capable of free-radical polymerization and having an average number of ethylenically unsaturated groups per monomer molecule equal to at least 1.5 based on all of the polymerizable material in the precursor composition, the polymerizable material being miscible in the polar solvent and comprising i) a poly(alkylene oxide (meth)acrylate) having at least 2 (meth)acryloyl groups and having at least 510 alkylene oxide units; andii) 0 to less than 20 weight percent anionic monomer based on a total weight of polymerizable material in the precursor composition, wherein the anionic monomer comprises an ethylenically unsaturated group in addition to an acidic group, a salt of the acidic group, or a mixture thereof. 21.
