Effects of temperature and anaesthetic molecules on the aggregation of block copolymers
An increase in temperature induces allregation of Pluronics. The dehydration of POP segments enhances the hydrophobic interaction and drives the formation of aggregates. The POP/POE mass ratio and relative molar mass of the Pluronics are factors that affect the onset of aggregation. Pluronics appear...
