Abstract

Acrylamide (AA) was chosen as the building block of the polymer used in the preparation of NPs. Polyacrylamide gels have been extensively characterized in the past years [4, 5, 16]. The crosslinking molecule, used to create the network, was N,N’-methylene-bisacrylamide (MBA). This monomer/crosslinker system is widely used for biomedical applications, because the mesh size of the polymeric network can be easily tuned; in addition, the photopolymerization is a fast and easy reaction, which only needs the addition of a very small amount of photoinitiator, DEAP in our case.
