摘要
Microstructural and physical properties of a pH-responsive gel based on a novel biocompatible ABA-type triblock copolymer, were examined. The series of samples was characterized by NMR spectroscopy, small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) and rheology measurements. NMR data indicated that gelation was due to hydrophobic interactions between the deprotonated DPA blocks. SANS provided information on the micellar shape and correlation length. Rheometry was used to examine the frequency dependence of the dynamic shear moduli.
