- Abstract:
- The interest in “smart” functional materials that respond to
changes in the environment strongly increased in the last
years owing to the desire to control complexity and to create
systems that adapt or respond to the environment. Moreover,
such “smart” materials are used to design and develop new
responsive materials for a wide range of applications in
various fields, such as biotechnology, drug delivery,
particle transport, and optical sensing. Recently, a
thermoresponsive fluorescent nanogel was applied as an
intracellular thermometer, that is, to monitor the temperature
in living cells.
