The preparation of nanogels is divided into two categories based on the type of bonds in the polymer network. (A) polymer X and polymer Y form physical crosslinked nanogels through noncovalent interactions, which are characterized by simple but unstable preparation; (B) polymer M and polymer N form chemically crosslinked nanogels through covalent interactions, which are characterized by stable structures but require safety considerations.
