Resumen:
Stimuli-responsive gels can swell or deswell in response to changes in external triggers such as pH, temperature and biomolecules; this makes them useful for applications in fields such as drug delivery, regenerative medicine, nanopatterning and chemical biosensing. Nanogels are composed of hydrophilic polymers capable of undergoing reversible volume-phase transitions in response to environmental stimuli. Among them, temperature-sensitive nanogels showing a volume phase transition temperature near physiological temperture have been investigated in detail.
