Abstract
The lower critical solution temperature (LCST) properties and hydrolytic behaviour of thermosensitive biodegradable polyphosphazenes with monomethoxyβpoly(ethylene glycol), glycine ethyl ester and depsipeptide ethyl esters substituents have been studied. All the polymers synthesized show LCST properties. The LCSTs of the polymers are affected by the composition of the polymers and increase with the degradation of the polymers in aqueous solution. The higher content of depsipeptide ethyl esters in the polymers accelerates the LCST change and the degradation of the polymers in aqueous solution. Most polymers synthesized have halfβlives of less than 10 days in neutral solution.

## Abstract **Summary:** After synthesizing both hard poly(organophosphazenes), which acted as strong hydrogels at a temperature below 37βΒ°C, and soft poly(organophosphazenes), which displayed the opposite properties, we blended the polymers. When these polymers were blended at an appropriate ratio
