Aqueous solutions of poly(ethylene glycol-b-[DLlactic acid-co-glycolic acid]-b-ethylene glycol) (PEG-PLGA-PEG) triblock copolymers form a free-flowing sol at room temperature and become a gel at body temperature. In this study, in situ gel formation was investigated in rats. Upon subcutaneous inject

## Abstract A series of biodegradable PCL‐PEG‐PCL block copolymers were successfully synthesized by ring‐opening polymerization of ε‐caprolactone initiated by poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), which were characterized by ^1^H NMR, ^13^C NMR, and FTIR. Their aqueous solution displayed special gel–sol tra
## Abstract An aqueous solution of a poly(ethylene glycol)‐polycaprolactone‐poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG‐PCL‐PEG) with a composition of EG~13~CL~23~EG~13~ undergoes multiple transitions, from sol‐to‐gel (hard gel)‐to‐sol‐to‐gel (soft gel)‐to‐sol, in the concentration range 20.0∼35.0 wt.‐%. Through dy
