| description | Abstract Functional designing of nanogels has become an attractive domain of biomedical engineering to develop bioactive materials with innovative features for the human healthcare system. Nanosilver has attracted enormous attention due to its wide antimicrobial spectrum and ability to kill almost all types of bacteria in its vicinity. However, the most crucial challenge for bioscientists is the lack of binding ability of nanosilver with the material surfaces that allow nanosilver to leach out to the surrounding tissue and exert toxicity while the biomaterial is in contact with the living system. Designing nanosilver within a nanogel confinement offers enormous possibilities to develop functional bioactive nanoparticles that may be bonded to any biomaterial surface via the nanogel functionality. This approach requires the proper combination of material science with nanotechnology and biotechnology to innovate interesting domain of functional nanogels with unique features. This work aims at providing a critical review on the current progress, approaches, and vision in designing nanosilver‐entrapped nanogel particles with diverse functionality, and their bioactivity against microorganisms for human healthcare devices. |
