  • Cationic Nanogels For Biotechnological Applications
    Publication number: 20130072576
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a biocompatible cationic nanogel comprising a polymer network, said polymer network comprising polymer units interconnected with one another through a cross-linking agent, wherein said polymer network can be obtained by polymerizing N-vinylcaprolactam and a cross-linking agent in a dispersed medium, in the presence of a cationic initiator and a cationic or non-ionic emulsifier. The invention also relates to methods for obtaining the mentioned nanogels as well as to pharmaceutical compositions comprising them.

  • BIOCOMPATIBLE MICROGELS AND APPLICATIONS THEREOF
    Publication number: 20100172990
    Abstract: The biocompatible microgels comprises a polymeric network, said polymeric network comprising monomeric units interconnected with one another through a crosslinking agent, wherein said polymeric network can be obtained by polymerization in a dispersed medium of a biocompatible vinyl monomer and a crosslinking agent. The microgel may further comprise a biologically active agent. Said biocompatible microgels can be used, among other applications, to transport and dose biologically active agents.
