Thermo-responsive hydrogels. These amphiphilic block copolymers undergo a sol-to-gel phase transition in aqueous media. At temperatures lower than the critical gelation temperature (CGT), these polymeric solutions are homogenous and injectable. Whereas at temperatures higher than the CGT, a 3-dimensional structure of bridged micelles, dominated by hydrophobic interactions, is formed.
