Advantages of the Precipitation Polymerization

Precipitation polymerization is a method of synthesizing glycol nanohydrogel by polymerization of monomers with a cross-linking agent. In this method, the system is homogeneous before the polymerization reaction, and all crosslinkers, monomers, and initiators are dissolved in the reaction medium. The polymer chains generated during polymerization grow to a certain length and then phase separation occurs to form polymer colloidal particles and further crosslinking structures, resulting in glycol nanohydrogel. Conventional precipitation polymerization does not use small molecule additives, and the resulting nanohydrogel has an uncontaminated surface, but the particle size is usually large. Nanohydrogels with smaller particle sizes are prepared by copolymerization with charged hydrophilic monomers or the use of steric stabilizers. Multiple stimuli-responsive or multifunctional composite nanohydrogels are also formed by using other colloidal particles as templates or seeds and coating stimuli-responsive polymers on the template particles.

Development of Precipitation Polymerization-based Glycol Nanohydrogel

Types of nanohydrogels synthesized by precipitation polymerization include temperature-responsive nanohydrogels, pH-responsive nanohydrogels, composite nanohydrogels, and hollow nanohydrogels. After communicating experimental goals, we carefully select monomers and crosslinkers to tailor the properties of glycol nanohydrogel and drive innovation in drug delivery, tissue engineering, and environmental applications. Based on the effect of the amount of monomer, crosslinker, and initiator on the size of the glycol nanohydrogel, we optimize the entire synthesis process to improve its performance in the target applications. Our well-established GlycoNano™ Platform ensures that the entire process is carried out efficiently and quickly.

Results: This paper describes the types, mechanisms, and applications of precipitation polymerization and recent advances. Precipitation polymerization, with the advantages of no surfactant and easy operation, is an effective method to prepare uniform polymer particles such as nanohydrogels. The polymer size and porosity can be effectively adjusted by controlling the polymerization conditions, as well as lowering the production cost and reducing environmental pollution, which makes this method very attractive in the fields of materials science and biomedicine. Currently developed precipitation polymerization methods include distillation precipitation polymerization, reflux precipitation polymerization, solvothermal precipitation polymerization, traditional thermo-induced precipitation polymerization, self-stabilized precipitation polymerization, photoinduced precipitation polymerization, etc.
