The effects of pharmaceuticals and cell media on the micellar structure and gelation behavior of PEO-PPO-PEO copolymers
Pluronics® consisting of poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide)-poly(ethylene oxide) have generated significant interest for drug delivery and tissue engineering applications due to their ability to form thermoreversible gels. In water, these copolymers form micelles that become partly ordered i...
