Abstract
Zwitterionic polymers by virtue of their unique chemical and physical attributes have attracted researchers in recent years. The simultaneous presence of positive and negative charges in the same repeat unit renders them of various interesting properties such as superhydrophilicity, which has significantly broadened their scope for being used in different applications. Among polyzwitterions of different architectures, micro- and/or nano-gels have started receiving attention only until recently. These 3D cross-linked colloidal structures show peculiar characteristics in context to their solution properties, which are attributable either to the comonomers present or the presence of different electrolytes and biological specimens. In this review, a concise yet detailed account is provided of the different synthetic techniques and application domains of zwitterion-based micro- and/or nanogels that have been explored in recent years. Here, the focus is kept solely on the "polybetaines," which have garnered maximum research interest and remain the extensively studied polyzwitterions in literature. While their vast application potential in the biomedical sector is being detailed here, some other areas of scope such as using them as microreactors for the synthesis of metal nanoparticles or making smart membranes for water-treatment are discussed in this minireview as well.

Microgel Particles with Distinct Morphologies and Common Chemical Compositions: a Unified Description of the Responsivity to Temperature and Osmotic Stress. Gels 2020; 6:gels6040034.

Abstract
Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) hydrogel microparticles with different core–shell morphologies have been designed, while maintaining an unvaried chemical composition: a morphology with (i) an un-crosslinked core with a crosslinked shell of PNIPAM chains and (ii) PNIPAM chains crosslinked to form the core with a shell consisting of tethered un-crosslinked PNIPAM chains to the core. Both morphologies with two different degrees of crosslinking have been assessed by confocal microscopy and tested with respect to their temperature responsivity and deformation by applying an osmotic stress. The thermal and mechanical behavior of these architectures have been framed within a Flory–Rehner modified model in order to describe the microgel volume shrinking occurring as response to a temperature increase or an osmotic perturbation. This study provides a background for assessing to what extent the mechanical features of the microgel particle surface affect the interactions occurring at the interface of a microgel particle with a cell, in addition to the already know ligand/receptor interaction. These results have direct implications in triggering a limited phagocytosis of microdevices designed as injectable drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Hydrogels are fascinating soft materials with unique properties. Many biological systems are based on hydrogel-like structures, underlining their versatility and relevance. The properties of hydrogels strongly depend on the structure of the building blocks they are composed of, as well as the nature of interactions between them in the network structure. Herein, gel networks made by supramolecular interactions are compared to covalent macromolecular networks, drawing conclusions about their performance and application as responsive materials.

Abstract
Sterically-stabilized diblock copolymer nanoparticles (a.k.a. micelles) are prepared directly in non-polar media via polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA). More specifically, a poly(lauryl methacrylate) chain transfer agent is chain-extended via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) dispersion polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) to form sterically-stabilized spheres at 20% w/w solids in n-dodecane at 90 °C. Both fully hydrogenous (PLMA39-PMMA55 and PLMA39-PMMA94) and core-deuterated (PLMA39-d8PMMA57 and PLMA39-d8PMMA96) spherical nanoparticles with mean core diameters of approximately 20 nm were prepared using this protocol. After diluting each dispersion in turn to 1.0% w/w with n-dodecane, small-angle X-ray scattering studies confirmed essentially no change in spherical nanoparticle diameter after thermal annealing at 150 °C. Time-resolved small angle neutron scattering was used to examine whether copolymer chain exchange occurs between such nanoparticles at elevated temperatures. Copolymer chain exchange for a binary mixture of PLMA39-PMMA55 and PLMA39-d8PMMA57 nanoparticles produced hybrid (mixed) cores containing both PMMA55 and d8PMMA57 blocks within 3 min at 150 °C. In contrast, a binary mixture of PLMA39-PMMA94 and PLMA39-d8PMMA96 nanoparticles required 8 min at this temperature before no further reduction in neutron scattering intensity could be observed. These observations suggest that the rate of copolymer chain exchange depends on the degree of polymerization of the core-forming block. Relatively slow copolymer chain exchange was also observed at 80 °C, which is below the Tg of the core-forming PMMA block as determined by DSC studies. These observations confirm rapid exchange of individual copolymer chains between sterically-stabilized nanoparticles at elevated temperature. The implications of these findings are briefly discussed in the context of PISA, which is a powerful technique for the synthesis of sterically-stabilized nanoparticles.

Abstract
Objectives: The study aimed to develop safe, effective, and targeted drug delivery system for administration of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in the form of microgels. We developed pH responsive microgels to overcome the mucosal damage caused by traditional immediate release dosage forms. Colon targeting and controlled release formulations have the potential to improve efficacy and reduce undesirable effects associated with NSAIDs.Methods: The pH sensitive oral hydrogel demonstrates the potential to target the colon. Cellulose acetate phthalate (CAP) and hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) based microgel particles were produced using a free radical polymerization technique using ammonium persulfate (APS) initiator and methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) as the crosslinking agent. Swelling and in-vitro drug release studies were performed at a range of pH conditions. The produced formulations were characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray diffraction. Biocompatibility of the microgels was analyzed in cytotoxicity studies.Key findings: The swelling and release rate were negligible at pH 1.2, which confirmed the pH-responsiveness of CAP-co-poly(HEMA). The co-polymeric system prevents the release of ketoprofen sodium in the stomach owing to limited swelling at gastric pH, whilst promoting release at the basic pH observed in the colon. SEM images confirmed porous nature of the microgels that facilitate effective drug diffusion through the polymeric matrix. Cytotoxicity studies revealed biocompatibility of hydrogels.Conclusion: These investigations showed that that the controlled drug release and gastro-protective drug delivery of NSAIDS was achieved using CAP-co-poly(HEMA) microgel particles.

Abstract
![]()
Thermoresponsive microgels are soft
colloids that find widespread
use as model systems for soft matter physics. Their complex internal
architecture, made of a disordered and heterogeneous polymer network,
has been so far a major challenge for computer simulations. In this
work, we put forward a coarse-grained model of microgels whose structural
properties are in quantitative agreement with results obtained with
small-angle X-ray scattering experiments across a wide range of temperatures,
encompassing the volume phase transition. These results bridge the
gap between experiments and simulations of individual microgel particles,
paving the way to theoretically address open questions about their
bulk properties with unprecedented nano- and microscale resolution.

Abstract
Nanogels and microgels are soft, deformable, and penetrable objects with an internal gel-like structure that is swollen by the dispersing solvent. Their softness and the potential to respond to external stimuli like temperature, pressure, pH, ionic strength, and different analytes make them interesting as soft model systems in fundamental research as well as for a broad range of applications, in particular in the field of biological applications. Recent tremendous developments in their synthesis open access to systems with complex architectures and compositions allowing for tailoring microgels with specific properties. At the same time state-of-the-art theoretical and simulation approaches offer deeper understanding of the behavior and structure of nano- and microgels under external influences and confinement at interfaces or at high volume fractions. Developments in the experimental analysis of nano- and microgels have become particularly important for structural investigations covering a broad range of length scales relevant to the internal structure, the overall size and shape, and interparticle interactions in concentrated samples. Here we provide an overview of the state-of-the-art, recent developments as well as emerging trends in the field of nano- and microgels. The following aspects build the focus of our discussion: tailoring (multi)functionality through synthesis; the role in biological and biomedical applications; the structure and properties as a model system, e.g., for densely packed arrangements in bulk and at interfaces; as well as the theory and computer simulation.

Abstract
The current research is focused to develop and investigate the toxicity and penetration potential of biocompatible chitosan nanogel encapsulating capecitabine by ionic interaction mechanism exhibiting pH triggered transdermal targeting. The nanogel (CPNL) was synthesized by ion gelation mechanism using Pluronic F 127 and surface decoration by Transcutol as non-ionic penetration enhancer. The CPNL possesses fine morphology and nano size range when evaluated by TEM, SEM and DLS analysis with cationic charge and slightly acidic pH assayed by zeta potential and pH analysis. It showed pH responsive drug release characteristics mimicking the skin cancer micro-environment. The MTT assay and apoptotic index of CPNL on HaCaT cell line elaborated optimal cell toxicity and retention on 24h of exposure. The ex-vivo skin penetration analysis exhibited noteworthy diffusion and penetration caliber through concentration depth profile, steady state flux and fluorescent skin imaging on porcine tissue. Overall outcomes suggested CPNL as a potent alternative biocompatible, transdermal nanotherapy against skin cancer displaying significant penetration caliber with enhance toxicity on cancerous cell.

Thermoresponsive microgels find widespread use as colloidal model systems, because their temperature-dependent size allows facile tuning of their volume fraction in situ. However, an interaction potential unifying their behavior across the entire phase diagram is sorely lacking. Here we investigate microgel suspensions in the fluid regime at different volume fractions and temperatures, and in the presence of another population of small microgels, combining confocal microscopy experiments and numerical simulations. We find that effective interactions between microgels are clearly temperature dependent. In addition, microgel mixtures possess an enhanced stability compared to hard colloid mixtures - a property not predicted by a simple Hertzian model. Based on numerical calculations we propose a multi-Hertzian model, which reproduces the experimental behavior for all studied conditions. Our findings highlight that effective interactions between microgels are much more complex than usually assumed, displaying a crucial dependence on temperature and on the internal core-corona architecture of the particles.
