Temperature and redox responsive hydrogels from ABA triblock copolymers prepared by RAFT polymerization

Abstract

Triblock copolymers prepared by reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer polymerization were capable of forming hydrogels that were both temperature- and redox-responsive, as a result of thiol-disulfide chemistry provided by aminolysis of an internal trithiocarbonate linkage.
