Here, a spotlight is shown on aqueous microgel particles which exhibit a great potential for
various biomedical applications such as drug delivery, cell imaging, and tissue engineering …

In this paper, recent developments in the chemical design of functional microgels are
summarized. A wide range of available synthetic methods allows the incorporation of …

Water-in-oil (w/o) Pickering emulsions have received considerable attention in biphasic
enzymatic catalysis for their advantages of good stability, large interfacial area, and ease of …

We investigate the influence of a solid core and of the cross-link density on the compression
of microgel particles at oil–water interfaces by means of compression isotherms and …

Silica-smart microgel composites are a unique combination, and have been given a lot of
attention due to their versatile application in diverse fields. This review article explores the …

Selective drug release is highly desirable for photothermal/chemo combination therapy
when two or even more theranostic agents are encapsulated together within the same …

Cross-linking density and distribution are decisive for the mechanical and other properties of
stimuli-sensitive poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) microgels. Here we investigate the structure of …

In the present work, we demonstrate that polymer based functional microgels can be used
as autocatalytic template for the bioinspired deposition of silica nanoparticles inside the …

Polymer microcapsules offer a possibility of storing increased amounts of drugs. Appropriate
design and composition of the microcapsules allow tuning of the drug-release process. In …

Abstract Poly (Nvinylcaprolactam)based biodegradable microgels are prepared for drug
delivery application via precipitation polymerization using diacetone acrylamide (DAAM) …
