Biomimetic thermo-responsive star diblock gelators.
We report the synthesis of novel biomimetic gelators with star diblock copolymer architectures by sequential monomer addition via alcoholic ATRP at 20 degrees C; free-standing gels can be formed from 5% aqueous copolymer solutions at 37 degrees C.
