Thermoresponsive nanoemulsion-based gel synthesized through a low-energy process
Abstract
Hydrogel emulsions enable facile loading of bioactive compounds but fabrication methods which allow upscaling and low cytotoxicity are scarce. Here, the authors report a thermally triggered low energy gelation mechanism based on the interaction between a nontoxic Pluronic and nanoemulsion droplets.
