The present invention comprises a process for preparing water-dispersible single-chain polymeric nanoparticles, which comprises cross-linking a polymer having a solubility equal to or higher than 100 mg per litre of water, and an amount of complementary reactive groups comprised from 5 to 60 molar % of the total amount of monomer units present in the polymer chain; with a crosslinking agent having crosslinkable groups; at a temperature comprised from 20 to 25&#xb0; C. in the absence of a catalyst; to obtain water-dispersible conjugates and compositions containing the nanoparticle; and the use thereof.

Process for preparing water-dispersible single-chain polymeric nanoparticles

It is provided a self-healing polymer network comprising transition metal thiolates, particularly thiolates of a transition metal that is able to self-assemble by metallophilic attractions, and more particularly Au(I), Ag(I), Cu(I) thiolates, or a mixture thereof, and, optionally, disulfide bonds, thiol and other thiolate groups. It is also provided several processes for the preparation of the self-healing polymer networks of the invention, as well as uses thereof.
