Using Poloxamer® 407 as Building Block of Amphiphilic Poly(ether urethane)s: Effect of its Molecular Weight Distribution on Thermo-Sensitive Hydrogel Performances in the Perspective of Their Biomedical Application

Using Poloxamer® 407 as Building Block of Amphiphilic Poly(ether urethane)s: Effect of its Molecular Weight Distribution on Thermo-Sensitive Hydrogel Performances in the Perspective of Their Biomedical Application

Due to its hydroxyl terminal groups, Poloxamer® 407 (P407), a commercially available poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide)-poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO-PPO-PEO) triblock copolymer can be used as macrodiol for the synthesis of high molecular weight amphiphilic poly(ether urethane)s (PEUs). This wor...
