Dual responsive block copolymer compositions

Fuente: WIPO "hemp"
A composition includes a responsive block copolymer, the responsive block copolymer including at least one block A that is a triggerable copolymer, the triggerable copolymer including at least one lower critical solution temperature monomer and at least one charged monomer, wherein the triggerable copolymer block A is a dual trigger block configured to trigger on temperature and ionic strength, and wherein the responsive block copolymer micellizes or gels at a temperature between 28 °C and 37 °C and a salt concentration of about 0.9 wt%.
