    Abstract

    Aqueous solutions of block copoly(oxyalkylene)s have a wide range of application. The use of micellar solutions of triblock copolymers with hydrophobic end offers the possibility of close control of solution properties over a wide range of temperature. Mixed micellization of triblock and diblock copolymers offers the further possibility of detailed control of dynamic modulus at a given temperature.
