Controlling the responsive behavior of genetically engineered block copolymer hydrogels through molecular architecture

Precise control over the responsive behavior of hydrogels is crucial for medical applications of these materials. To better understand how pH-triggered gelation and materials properties of the resultant gels can be controlled, a series of multiblock copolymers has been prepared by genetic engineerin...
