This work aimed to obtain information on the water dispersibility of a 1:1 stoichiometric polyelectrolyte nanogel complex (SPENC). We synthesized a cationic polyelectrolyte nanogel (CPENG) composed of a cross-linked copolymer of 1-vinylimidazole and N-isopropylacrylamide. SPENC was then prepared at 25 degrees C from t…
