Biphasic Equilibrium Dialysis of Poly(N-Isopropyl Acrylamide) Nanogels Synthesized at Decreased Temperatures for Targeted Delivery of Thermosensitive Bioactives

Figure 2

The first stage of purification of aqueous dispersion of a nanogel, measured in terms of conductivity, for nanogels synthesized with low (a) and high (b) feed content of initiator. The dashed circles represent the intersection of the conductivity curve with a straight line which represents the upper possible level of conductivity in specified samples. DP refers to the data from the purification process in acceptor compartment—the lines are the guides for the eye. BP refers to the data of the same concentration and volume, not purified—straight lines, explanation in the text. Other acronyms which are given in Table 3 refer to the feed composition of the nanogels.
