Synthesis and swelling behavior of temperature responsive kappa-carrageenan nanogels

Crosslinked j-carrageenan hydrogel nanoparticles (nanogels) with an average size smaller than 100 nm were prepared using reverse microemulsions combined with thermally induced gelation. The size of the nanogels varied with biopolymer concentration at a constant water/surfactant concentration ratio....
