In addition, the reversed-phase microemulsion system can also be used for synthesizing stable cross-linked nanogels from water­soluble polymers by atom transfer radical polymerization [10].

The polymerization reaction of nanogels can also be carried out in oil-in-water microemulsion or water-based suspension. Moreover, the polymerization reaction can be initiated by hydrosoluble monomers in a homogeneous aqueous solution

For example, researchers synthesized a suspended nanogel by precipitation polymerization using polyethylene glycol (PEG) and polymethacrylic acid (PMA) as main ingredients [11].
In addition to these polymerization methods, covalent cross­linking between polymer chains provides a good solution for producing nanogels with large voids [12] and has been widely

In another work, hydrosoluble PEI was cross­linked on microglia composed of double-active PEG-b-PPG-b­PEG triblock copolymers [14] to prepare hydrophobic core of PPO and cross-linked shell of PEI/PEO (PEG-cl-PEI). In addition, Tatiana et al. cross-linked the amphiphilic block copolymers with oppositely charged shortening agents to obtain preliminary particles, then chemical cross-linking of ionic bonds occurred

5.3 Mechanism of Nanogel Formation
The essence of nanogel generation is the moderate cross-linking between polymers. Inorganic substances or metal alkoxides are used as precursors, and these materials are uniformly mixed, hydrolyzed and condensed to form a stable transparent sol system in solution. The solute is aged and the slow polymerization between the colloidal particles gradually forms a three-dimensional spatial

loses its mobility to obtain nanogels. The preparation of solid nanogels is relatively simple: it can simply be made by dry gel absorbing liquid and expanding, which is a usually elastic nanogel. However, the preparation of nanogels must meet two basic conditions: (1) reduce solubility, so that the solid matter will precipitate out of the solution in a “colloidal dispersion state”; (2) the formed solid particles neither subside nor move freely, but form a skeleton and continuous network structure.

5.3.1.1 Gelation theory of nonlinear polycondensation
The viscosity of most nonlinear polycondensation systems increases suddenly and insoluble gel is produced when they reach a certain stage, which is called gelation phenomenon. In production, if gel appears in the reactor, it will bring great trouble to the operation. Therefore, it is important to predict the critical condition of gel theoretically.
Flory [18] introduced the concept of bifurcation point and obtained the critical condition of gelation for a special case

Take the Aa– Bb reaction as an example, Aa represents a monomers of A group, and Bb represents b monomers of the B group that can react with the A group. NA and NB are the corresponding number of molecules, and pA and pB are the corresponding degrees of reaction. Then the ratio range of gel in
Aa– Bb polycondensation reaction can be expressed by the

The assembly behavior of copolymers is described by Equation 1.2 [23]. And the key parameter is the surface charge (also known as zeta potential j), which can be adjusted by monomer ratio, solvent mass or the pH value of the medium.

the theory of gel expansion in 1943. Among many theories, Flory–Rehner theory of gel expansion is one of the most classical theories, which can successfully predict the swelling deformation characteristics of polymer colloids [24]. In recent years, the research on the swelling kinetics of nanogels has received more and more attention and made great progress. It studies the relationship of the swelling ratio of nanogels with time, which is mainly controlled by the weak interaction of the gels. Good solvent molecules swell by penetrating the nanogel network structure. The volume expansion rate depends on the internal osmotic pressure and the conformational transformation ability of the nanogel molecular chain.
Compared with traditional hydrogels, nanogels have a faster
response speed [25]. Moreover, the swelling process is divided into

The swelling degree of the nanogels is related to the structure of the nanogels and the solvent, and increases with the increase of temperature.
The occurrence of swelling is not instantaneous, and there is a process to reach the equilibrium of swelling. The kinetic

5.4.1.2 Swelling mechanism
The swelling process of hydrogels with cross-linked structure is actually a balance of two opposite trends. On the one hand, the solvent tries to penetrate into the gel network structure to expand its volume, leading to the expansion of the network structure; on the other hand, the extension of the molecular chains between the cross-linking points reduces the conformational entropy of polymers, and the elastic contraction force, generated by the three-dimensional network subjected by stress, causes the molecular network to contract.
