          Abstract

          The objective of this study is to develop a sensitive temperature-responsive material that would function near body temperature. To achieve this purpose, we compounded 2-branched and 4-branched poly(epsilon-caprolactone) macromonomers to modulate the transition temperatures of the resulting cross-linked materials. The temperature-responsive properties were studied using differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction measurements. As a result, the mixing ratios of each macromonomer or the total macromonomer concentrations were very dominant in modulating the transition temperatures. The materials could successfully control the permeation of the model drug, prednisolone, near body temperature.
