Abstract: The polyethyleneimine(PEI)-coated magnetic nanogel was synthesized via photochemical polymerization under UV-light irradiation. Modified with folic acid, which was expected to be able to identify tumor surface receptors and to have a high binding force with cancer cells, the FA-PEI-Fe3O4 nanogel was prepared. The FA-PEI-Fe3O4 nanogel was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, scan electron microscope and vibrating sample magnetometer, respectively. The results showed that the magnetic nanogel was regular shape with a mean diameter of 140 nm. With high saturation magnetization and folate modification, the FA-PEI-Fe3O4 nanogel suggests promising potential application in cancer-targeted drug delivery.
