Thermogelling Poly(caprolactone-b-ethylene glycol-b-caprolactone) Aqueous Solutions
Abstract
Poly(caprolactone- b -ethylene glycol- b -caprolactone) (PCL−PEG−PCL) triblock copolymer aqueous solution (>15 wt %) undergoes the sol−gel−sol transition as the temperature increases from 10 to 60 °C. The mechanism and structure−property relationship of the sol−gel transition were investigated. In particular, compared with the PEG−PCL−PEG triblock copolymers recently reported by our group, PCL−PEG−PCL has (1) a synthetic advantage without a hexamethylene diisocyanate coupling step, (2) a wider gel window of over 15−32 wt %, and (3) a larger gel modulus. Both PEG−PCL−PEG and PCL−PEG−PCL polymers are an important progress in the biodegradable thermogelling system in that they can be lyophilized in a powder form, are easy to handle, are easy to redissolve to a clear solution, and show little syneresis through the gel phase.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
