"Version: 20190601"--Title page verso."A Morgan & Claypool publication as part of IOP Concise Physics"--Title page verso.Includes bibliographical references.1. Stimuli-responsive polymers : introduction -- 2. Stimuli-responsive polymers : synthesis approach -- 2.1. Physical self-assembly of interactive polymers -- 2.2. Polymerization of polymers in a heterogeneous environment3. Stimuli-responsive polymers : biomedical concepts -- 3.1. Stimulus-responsive nanogels -- 3.2. Temperature-responsive nanogels -- 3.3. Redox-responsive polymers -- 3.4. Light-responsive polymers -- 3.5. Multi-stimuli responsive polymers4. Stimuli-responsive polymers : recent advances -- 5. Stimuli-responsive polymers : future perspectives.This book provides a general introduction to nanogels, and designs of various stimuli-sensitive nanogels that are able to control drug release in response to specific stimuli. Nanogels are three-dimensional nanosized networks that formed by physically or chemically crosslinking polymers. They have highly interesting properties such as biocompatibility, high stability, particle size adjustment, drug loading capability and modification of the surface for active targeting. They can respond to stimuli which results in the controlled release of drug and targeting of the site.
