“…Polymer blends provide a simple approach to combine the advantages of different polymers, for example adhesiveness and environmental responsiveness (Barbosa et al, 2017;Borghi-Pangoni et al, 2015;Bruschi et al, 2007;Jones et al, 2009;Liu, Lin, Li, & Liu, 2005). Thermoresponsive gelling systems have been widely studied over the years for drug delivery, mainly due to their ease of application, spreadability and retention at the application site (de Francisco et al, 2019;Ramírez Barragán et al, 2018). Moreover, where these thermoresponsive materials are composed of nanostructured micelles derived from amphiphilic block copolymers they may improve solubilization, stabilization and control of drug delivery (Jindal & Mehta, 2015).…”
