Abstract: A new kind of biodegradable pH and temperature sensitive block copolymers were synthesized by ring-opening and conventional free radical polymerizations. The chemical structure of OSM1-PCLA-PEG-PCLA-OSM1 block copolymers was characterized via FTIR and 1H NMR. Critical micelle concentration and particle size distribution were studied by fluorospectrophotometer and laser size detector to verify the copolymers micelle formation. The results of sol-gel transition show that the block copolymers solution possesses both pH and temperature sensitive properties. Different block copolymer solutions can form a stable gel obviously at certain temperature. OSM1-PCLA-PEG-PCLA-OSM1 block copolymers could be potential intelligent polymers materials for drug delivery system because of its pH and temperature sensitive properties.
