Thermo- and pH-Sensitive Hydrophilic Block Copolymers: Synthesis, Micellization, Gelation, and Application
This dissertation presents the synthesis of a series of thermo- and pH-sensitive hydrophilic block copolymers and the study of their solution behavior in water. By incorporating a small amount of weak acid or base groups into the thermosensitive block(s) of a hydrophilic block copolymer, the LCST of...
