Figure 1. a) Mechanochromism of a PS-b-P2VP block copolymer photo nic gel deformed
with an indenter. b) Color changes of the gel as a function of deformation. The random …

Recent efforts have established that thermoplastic elastomer gels (TPEGs) composed of
styrenic triblock copolymers swollen with a midblock‐selective solvent exhibit remarkable …

Physically assembled gels have promising applications in many fields because of their
tunable mechanical properties. Here, we report the mechanical properties as a function of …

Model physically associating solutions of acrylic triblock copolymer molecules in a midblock-
selective solvent displayed nonlinear strain-stiffening behavior which transitioned to rapid …

Mechanical properties including the failure behavior of physically assembled gels or
physical gels are governed by their network structure. To investigate such behavior, we …

Bicomponent block copolymers are known to exhibit rich phase behavior in systems
containing one or two block-selective homopolymers or solvents. In this study, we combine …

Endblock associative ABA gels in midblock selective solvents are attractive due to their
easily tunable mechanical properties. Here, we present the effects of A-and B-block lengths …

The microstructure of physically assembled gels depends on mechanical loading and
environmental stimuli such as temperature. Here, we report the real-time change in the …

We report on the nanoscale assembly of poly (lactic acid)-b-poly (ethylene oxide)-b-poly
(lactic acid)(PLA-PEO-PLA) triblock copolymers in water, focusing on the effect of …

In the present work, we designed a multicompartment gel by taking advantage of the ABC
graft copolymer with a solvophilic A backbone and solvophobic B and C grafts. The …
