Abstract

Aqueous solutions of poloxamer 407 (P407), a commercially available and nontoxic ABA triblock polymer (PEO-PPO-PEO), undergo a solution-to-gel transition with increasing temperature and are promising candidates for injectable therapeutics. The gel transition temperature, modulus, and structure are all dictated by polymer concentration, preventing independent tuning of these properties. Here, we show that addition of BAB reverse poloxamers (RPs) to P407-based solutions dramatically alters the gelation temperature, modulus, and morphology. Gelation temperature and RP localization within the hydrogel are dictated by RP solubility. Highly soluble RPs increase gelation temperature and incorporate primarily into the micelle corona regions. Alternatively, RPs with low aqueous solubility decrease gelation temperature and associate within the micelle core and core-corona interface. These differences in RP localization have significant implications for the hydrogel modulus and microstructure. The ability to tune gelation temperature, modulus, and structure through RP addition allows for the design of thermoresponsive materials with specific properties that are unobtainable with neat P407-based hydrogels.

摘要

聚氧乙烯-聚氧丙烯-聚氧乙烯(P407)水溶液是一种商业上可获得的无毒 ABA 三嵌段聚合物(PEO-PPO-PEO),随着温度的升高,它会经历溶液到凝胶的转变,是有前途的可注射治疗药物候选物。凝胶转变温度、模量和结构都由聚合物浓度决定,这使得这些性质无法独立调节。在这里,我们表明,向基于 P407 的溶液中添加 BAB 反向聚氧乙烯(RPs)会显著改变凝胶化温度、模量和形态。凝胶化温度和 RP 在水凝胶中的定位取决于 RP 的溶解度。高溶解度的 RPs 会提高凝胶化温度,并主要结合到胶束冠区。相反,水溶性低的 RPs 会降低凝胶化温度,并在胶束核和核-冠界面内缔合。RP 定位的这些差异对水凝胶的模量和微观结构有重要影响。通过添加 RP 来调节凝胶化温度、模量和结构的能力允许设计具有特定性质的热响应材料,而这些性质是纯基于 P407 的水凝胶无法获得的。
