The objective of this work is to bring new information about the influence of temperatures (7 °C and 20 °C) on the equation of state and sol–gel transition behavior of casein micelle dispersions. Casein micelle dispersions have been concentrated and equilibrated at different osmotic pressures using equilibrium dialysis at 7 °C and 20 °C. The osmotic stress technique measured the osmotic pressures of the dispersions over a wide range of concentrations. Rheological properties of concentrated dispersions were then characterized, respectively at 7 °C and at 20 °C. The essential result is that casein micelle dispersions are less compressible at 7 °C than at 20 °C and that concentration of sol–gel transition is lower at 7 °C than at 20 °C, with compressibility defined as the inverse to the resistance to the compression, and that is proportional to the cost to remove water from structure. From our interpretations, these two features were fully consistent with a release of soluble β-casein and nanoclusters CaP and an increased casein micelle hydration and apparent voluminosity at 7 °C as compared with 20 °C.

The influence of viscoelastic gels as lining fluids on the pressure-velocity relationships in an airway tube model (Gaver et al. J. Appl. Physiol. 69: 74-85, 1990) was examined. A flow instability was observed due to the occurrence of a sol-gel transition in the viscoelastic properties under flow conditions. We further report measurements of the viscoelastic properties of airway secretions. Airway secretions are gels under small strains and have a yield stress of 4-7 dyn/cm2. Secretions from the pharyngeal airway show lower elasticity than secretions from the trachea. The airway reopening process is simulated using a Weibel lung geometry by incorporating the constitutive equations from the model gel studies and utilizing the rheological data on airway secretions. In these simulations, a "popping-open" phenomenon arises from a flow instability in airway generations 8-14 when the rheological properties of the lining fluids are assumed to be similar to those of pharyngeal secretions. On the basis of these studies, the elasticity of airway secretions plays an important role in airway reopening.

Nanogels represent an innovative platform for tunable drug release and targeted therapy in several biomedical applications, ranging from cancer to neurological disorders. The design of these nanocarriers is a pivotal topic investigated by the researchers over the years, with the aim to optimize the procedures and provide advanced nanomaterials. Chemical reactions, physical interactions and the developments of engineered devices are the three main areas explored to overcome the shortcomings of the traditional nanofabrication approaches. This review proposes a focus on the current techniques used in nanogel design, highlighting the upgrades in physico-chemical methodologies, microfluidics and 3D printing. Polymers and biomolecules can be combined to produce ad hoc nanonetworks according to the final curative aims, preserving the criteria of biocompatibility and biodegradability. Controlled polymerization, interfacial reactions, sol-gel transition, manipulation of the fluids at the nanoscale, lab-on-a-chip technology and 3D printing are the leading strategies to lean on in the next future and offer new solutions to the critical healthcare scenarios.
