Investigating the Properties of Novel Polymer Nanogels
TESTA Analytical Solutions e.K reports how researchers at Lodz University of Technology (Poland) have combined the advanced analytical capabilities of its GPC/SEC triple detection system with a BI-200SM light scattering goniometer to derive in-depth information about an exciting new generation of polymer nanogels.
Polymer nanogels with cross-linked structure provide a versatile platform for storage and release of biologically active compounds. They offer a highly desirable method of loading and delivering active forms of drugs or proteins toward cells for remaining activity, enhancing stability, and avoiding potential immunogenicity of proteins. Reported promising applications of polymer nanogels include drug delivery agents, contrast agents for medical imaging, nanoactuators, and sensors.
