Abstract

The influence of 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) concentration on the temperature sensitivity of nanogels based on N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAM), poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP), poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) by gamma radiation induced polymerization was investigated. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) and zeta potential measurements were used to characterize the nanogels. Temperature has been found to cause the nanogel particles to swell and shirnkage, allowing controlled dosing of the drug contained in capsules. The developed nanogels are promising materials with great potential for biomedical applications.
