A) Photographs of linear PBnA solution and gel at various temperatures. The solvent is menthol:thymol DES with a [Men]:[Thy] molar ratio of 1:0.5. B) Light transmittance of PBnA solutions in menthol:thymol DESs with various [Men]:[Thy] molar ratios as a function of temperature. λ = 500 nm. The concentration of PBnA was 4.0 g/mL. C) Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) thermograms of PBnA solutions in menthol:thymol DESs with various molar ratios. D) Light transmittance of PBnA gel in menthol:thymol DESs with various molar ratios as a function of temperature. λ = 500 nm.
