title: Synthesis of architecturally well-defined nanogels via RAFT polymerization for potential bioapplications.
abstract: Nanogel synthesis by RAFT polymerization is an emerging field for the control of architectures and functions of polymeric nanomaterials for bioapplications. In this Feature Article, we review the recent development in nanogel synthesis using preformed RAFT polymers and by direct RAFT polymerizations.
