Abstract:In this thesis, it is aimed to make size controlled nanogels. For the fabrication of nanogels, functional methacrylate monomers will be used together with dimethacrylate crosslinkers in a ratio 3:1, utilizing the RAFT (Reversible-addition-fragmentation chain-transfer) technique. This technique promotes the formation of uniform particles with a low polydispersity in a controlled manner and is also applicable to various monomers. Size-controlled nanogels might be the future for serving as a biomedical application. During the synthesis of the nanogels, a size range of 8-146 nm was achieved. However, more data points are required to make it a more reliable range. These synthesis of nanogels were characterised through the use of NMR, DLS, GPC.
