title: Biodegradable thermoresponsive poly(amino acid)s.
abstract: Reaction of poly(succinimide) with a mixture of 5-aminopentanol and 6-aminohexanol produced new thermoresponsive polymers based on biodegradable poly(amino acids)s, poly(N-substituted alpha/beta-asparagine)s, showing a clear LCST in water.
