ABSTRACTFormation of hierarchical macropores and mesopores in ethylene-bridged polysilsesquioxane sol-gel systems via concurrent sol-gel transition and phase separation induced by the incorporation of supramolecular templats has been investigated. A series of poly(ethylene-glycol)-poly(propyleneglycol)- poly(ethyleneglycol) triblock copolymers, EOPOEOs, have been employed as supramolecular templates, while 1,2-bis(trimethoxysilyl)ethane was used as a polysilsesquioxane source. Successful combination of templated mesopores and well-defined macropores due to phase-separation has been found in the system with EOPOEOs having 70 PO units and respective 20 EO units. Although similar macroporous morphology has been obtained for all the EOPOEOs with EO chain longer or shorter than 20 units, the optimum composition for the co-continuous macropores and that for templated mesopores deviated from each other, resulting in the failure of producing hierarchical macropores and mesopores.

In this paper, amphipathic poly(d,l-lactide-co-glycolide)-polyethylene glycol-poly(d,l-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA-PEG-PLGA) triblock copolymers were synthesized via bulk ring-opening polymerization with d,l-lactide (d,l-LA), glycolide (GA), and polyethylene glycol (PEG) as raw materials and tin(ii) bis(2-ethylhexanoate) (Sn(Oct)2) as catalyst. The synthesis and purification processes were free from organic solvent. The chemical structure of PLGA-PEG-PLGA was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, 1H NMR, gel permeation chromatography, differential scanning calorimetry, and thermo gravimetric analysis. The thermo-sensitivity of PLGA-PEG-PLGA aqueous solution was examined, and the results showed that the copolymers concentration, mass ratio of d,l-LA/GA, and molecular weight of PEG played important parts in controlling the sol–gel transition temperature. The sol–gel transition occurred at lower temperatures with higher copolymer concentrations and mass ratios of d,l-LA/GA. In contrast, the sol–gel transition temperature increased with higher molecular weights of PEG. In vitro drug release studies were carried out using ceftibuten as a model drug. The results indicated that PLGA-PEG-PLGA prepared with 30 wt-% PEG1500 and 70 wt-% PLGA (mass ratio of d,l-LA/GA = 2 : 1) was an effective system for achieving long-sustained controlled release. The drug release from the hydrogel showed a higher initial release followed by a slower pattern up to 120 h, and the mean retention time was ~50 h.
