(A) Temperature-dependent hydrodynamic diameter evolution in water of (Ai) Ag@cur-P(MEO2MA) B-series core-doped shell hybrid NPs (Table 1) and (Aii) cur-P(MEO2MA) nanogels (Table 2) with different curcumin content. (B) ζ-potential determined by DLS at 10 °C and 35 °C for colloidal samples of (Bi) P(MEO2MA) nanogels (G0), (Bii) AgNPs functionalized with 3.15 wt% curcumin content (Ag@cur) before and (Biii) after (MEO2MA) polymerization, Ag@cur-P(MEO2MA) hybrid NPs (Ag@cur-G3B). (C) UV-Vis spectra (below and above VPTT) of Ag@cur-P(MEO2MA) hybrid NPs with Ag core synthesized at 90 °C (Ci) and 100 °C (Cii), and cur-P(MEO2MA) nanogel (Ciii). All samples shown (C) were synthesized with 3.8 wt% curcumin/polymer ratio (Table 1 and Table 2).
