Thermal characterization of component and alternating block copolymer ELPs. A) The hydrophilic (ELP-S_comp) and hydrophobic (ELP-V_comp) component ELPs exhibited T_ts that differed by 60–85°C. Homogeneous mixture of the components in ELP-SVB₁ resulted in a T_t that was dominated by the hydrophobic component. B) Increasing the block size decreased the T_t across concentrations of 5–100 µM. Squares–experimental values; lines–logarithmic fit to experimental data.
