title: Bioreducible nanogels/microgels easily prepared via temperature induced self-assembly and self-crosslinking.
abstract: A facile temperature induced self-assembly and self-crosslinking method has been developed for preparing bioreducible nanogels/microgels without need of any stabilizer, catalyst or additional crosslinking agent. The size of formed nanogels/microgels can be easily tuned via the polymer concentration.
