Effect of small amounts of akaganeite (β-FeOOH) nanorods on the gelation, phase behaviour and injectability of thermoresponsive Pluronic F127

Abstract

Pluronic F127 (PF127) is a copolymer with an amphiphilic nature and can self-assemble to form micelles and, beyond 20% (w/v), form a thermoresponsive physical gel state. However, they are mechanically...

Thermosensitive curcumin/silver/montmorillonite-F127 hydrogels with synergistic photodynamic/photothermal/silver ions antibacterial activity

“…To understand the behavior further, the shear rate of the sample was varied at 55 °C, and the oscillatory test was carried out at different frequencies. 31 Fig. 4I shows the changes of CAM-F hydrogels’ G ′ and G ′′ at different frequencies.…”
