Embodiment Construction

[0107]Reference will now be made in detail to the preferred embodiments of the present invention. It is to be understood that the following examples are illustrative only and the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0108]Several batches (P1 to P5) of Methyl-P[nPrOzi50-b-MeOx50]-piperidine-4-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (poly(nPrOzi)-b-poly(MeOx) were analyzed using gel permeation chromatography (GPC) (FIG. 1), temperature dependent rheological properties (FIG. 2) and 1H-NMR spectra (FIGS. 3 to 7). The results are first of all summarized in following Table 1:

Abstract

Block copolymers have a general chemical structure of one of the formulas [A]n-[B]m and [B]n-[A]m, wherein [A] is a poly(2-oxazine) and wherein [B] is a poly(2-oxazoline). The block copolymers have desired thermogelling and rheological properties and are useful as carrier materials for active ingredients such as drugs, cells, proteins, and other active ingredients.
