Bioreducible nanogels/microgels easily prepared via temperature induced self-assembly and self-crosslinking.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A facile temperature induced self-assembly and self-crosslinking method has been developed for preparing bioreducible nanogels/microgels without need of any stabilizer, catalyst or additional crosslinking agent. The size of formed nanogels/microgels can be easily tuned via the polymer concentration.

Oligo(ethylene glycol)-sidechain microgels prepared in absence of cross-linking agent: Polymerization, characterization and variation of particle deformability
We present a systematic study of self-cross-linked microgels formed by precipitation polymerization of oligo ethylene glycol methacrylates. The cross-linking density of these microgels and, thus, the network flexibility can be easily tuned through the modulation of the reaction temperature during polymerization. Microgels prepared in absence of any difunctional monomer, i.e. cross-linker, show ...
متن کاملSurface-directed assembly of cell-laden microgels.
Cell-laden microscale hydrogels (microgels) can be used as tissue building blocks and assembled to create 3D tissue constructs with well-defined microarchitecture. In this article, we present a bottom-up approach to achieve microgel assembly on a patterned surface. Driven by surface tension, the hydrophilic microgels can be assembled into well-defined shapes on a glass surface patterned with hy...
متن کاملpH-degradable PVA-based nanogels via photo-crosslinking of thermo-preinduced nanoaggregates for controlled drug delivery.
pH-Degradable PVA nanogels, which are prepared by photo-crosslinking thermo-preinduced PVA nanoaggregates in water without any surfactants or toxic organic solvents, are used for intracellular PTX release and anticancer treatment. These nanogels fast degraded at mildly acidic conditions with a pH-triggered PTX release, and the degradation products are only native PVA and poly(hydroxyethyl acryl...
متن کاملSelf-Assembled Modified Soy Protein/Dextran Nanogel Induced by Ultrasonication as a Delivery Vehicle for Riboflavin.
A simple and green approach was developed to produce a novel nanogel via self-assembly of modified soy protein and dextran, to efficiently deliver riboflavin. First, modified soy protein was prepared by heating denaturation at 60 °C for 30 min or Alcalase hydrolysis for 40 min. Second, modified soy protein was mixed with dextran and ultrasonicated for 70 min so as to assemble nanogels. The modi...
متن کاملEngineering nanoscopic hydrogels via photo-crosslinking salt-induced polymer assembly for targeted drug delivery.
We report the preparation of biodegradable nanoscopic hydrogels and their application for targeted drug delivery. The nanogel is synthesized in a template-free method by photo-crosslinking salt-induced polymer assemblies. With convenient incorporation of targeted lactosyl moieties, the nanogels efficiently deliver doxorubicin to HepG2 cells through receptor-mediated internalization.
