Synthesis, Supramolecular Assembly, and Hydrogelation of Poly(amino ester) ABA Triblock Copolymers

) amphiphilic triblock copolymers with controlled molar masses ranging from 4,600 to 8,500 g/mol and narrow dispersities (Đ ≤ 1.21). A panel of polymers with various block lengths and compositions was synthesized. Their self-assembly in water revealed the formation of nanostructures, including worm-like or spherical morphologies. Modulation of the copolymer composition and concentration enables control over hydrogelation and its macroscopic properties. Finally, we investigated the formulation of a hydrophobic fungicide and its inhibitory effect on spore proliferation, which shows great promise as dispensable and biodegradable hydrogel formulation for agrochemical applications.
