Ionizing radiation has become the most effective way to modify natural and synthetic
polymers through crosslinking, degradation, and graft polymerization. This review will …

Poloxamers, also known as Pluronics®, are block copolymers of poly (ethylene oxide)(PEO)
and poly (propylene oxide)(PPO), which have an amphiphilic character and useful …

Introduction: Nanostructured delivery vehicles can address key challenges facing drug
delivery, including the lipophilic nature of therapeutic compounds and their effective …

The present review focuses on the interaction of microgels and microcapsules with
biological macromolecules, particularly peptides and proteins, as well as drug delivery …

While microgels and nanogels are most commonly used for the delivery of hydrophilic
therapeutics, the water-swollen structure, size, deformability, colloidal stability, functionality …

Oral administration of anticancer agents is preferred by patients for its convenience and
potential for use in outpatient and palliative setting. In addition, oral administration facilitates …

This review is devoted to poly (NIPAM) based microgels and nanoparticle/polymer hybrid
microgels. It tries to give a brief overview of recent developments with respect to new …

The volume phase transition of colloidal microgels made of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM)
is well-studied and it is known that the transition temperature can be influenced by …

We demonstrate a simple route for the preparation of novel hybrid particles with multiple
sensitivities. Aqueous polymeric microgels are modified by magnetite nanoparticles in the …

The recent literature on chemically cross-linked amphiphilic polymer networks is reviewed.
The main subjects covered are network synthesis, characterization, modeling and …
