Responsive gels incorporating nanoparticles for biomedical analyses

Thermoresponsive hydrogels containing gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were explored for their potential use as colorimetric sensors. The shrinking and swelling behaviour of thermoresponsive polymers cross-linked by AuNPs induces a colour change around the LeST. Formulation of the AuNPs cross-linked therm...
