Nanogel

A nanogel is a nanoparticle composed of a hydrogel—a crosslinked hydrophilic polymer network. Nanogels are most often composed of synthetic polymers[1] or biopolymers which are chemically or physically crosslinked.[2] Nanogels are usually in the tens to hundreds of nanometers in diameter. Like hydrogels, the pores in nanogels can be filled with small molecules or macromolecules,[3] and their properties, such as swelling, degradation, and chemical functionality, can be controlled.[4]

Applications

Potential applications of nanogels include drug delivery agents, contrast agents for medical imaging, nanoactuators, and sensors.[2][5][6][7][8][9]

  • Nanogels with cross-linked structure provide a versatile platform for storage and release of proteins. It is a highly desirable method of loading and delivering active forms of proteins toward cells for remaining activity, enhancing stability, and avoiding potential immunogenicity of proteins.[10]
  • Nanogels composed of polyethylenimine (PEI) have been used to deliver anti-cancer compounds into cells.[11][12]
  • Nanogels composed of dextran have been developed for imaging tumor-associated macrophages with radionuclides and targeting the bone.[13][14]
  • A fluorescent nanogel thermometer was developed to measure temperatures to within 0.5 °C (0.90 °F) in living cells. The cell absorbs water when colder and squeezes the water out as its internal temperature rises; the relative quantity of water masks or exposes the fluorescence of the nanogel.[15]

Nanogels are not to be confused with Nanogel aerogel, a lightweight thermal insulator, or with nanocomposite hydrogels (NC gels), which are nanomaterial-filled, hydrated, polymeric networks that exhibit higher elasticity and strength relative to traditionally made hydrogels.

gollark: I would prefer 5 years from publication of the work myself.]
gollark: Disney extends it a lot.
gollark: In the US it's... 70 or so?
gollark: I think limiting copyright to maybe 5 years would be a sensible move.
gollark: Well, me, though I think it overreaches.
