A review on Ag nanoparticles fabricated in microgels

Abstract

In recent years, there has been growing interest in the composites of multi-responsive microgels and silver nanoparticles. This innovative hybrid system harnesses the responsive qualities of microgels while capitalizing on the optical and electronic attributes of silver nanoparticles. This combined system demonstrates a rapid response to minor changes in pH, temperature, ionic strength of the medium, and the concentration of specific biological substances. This review article presents an overview of the recent advancements in the synthesis, classification, characterization methods, and properties of microgels loaded with silver nanoparticles. Furthermore, it explores the diverse applications of these responsive microgels containing silver nanoparticles in catalysis, the biomedical field, nanotechnology, and the mitigation of harmful environmental pollutants.
