aqueous solution (> 15 wt%) undergoes the sol− gel− sol transition as the temperature
increases from 10 to 60° C. The mechanism and structure− property relationship of the sol−
gel transition were investigated. In particular, compared with the PEG− PCL− PEG triblock
copolymers recently reported by our group, PCL− PEG− PCL has (1) a synthetic advantage
without a hexamethylene diisocyanate coupling step,(2) a wider gel window of over 15− 32 …
