The triblock polymer was prepared by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization and formed inclusion complexes (ICs) after selective threading of the PEO segment of the triblock polymer through the cavities of α-CD units. For comparison, PPEOMA homopolymer was prepared and the inclusion complexation with α-CD was also studied. The ICs were prepared with a-CD when the polymer was in different conformations by changing the temperature, and the formed ICs were characterized by XRD, ^1H-NMR, TGA and DSC. The solutions of the ICs show temperature-responsive clear/turbid transition or fluidic emulsion/gel transition depending on the concentration of the α-CD added, and the stoichiometry determined by ^1H-NMR and TGA indicates that the stoichiometry of EO to α-CD of the resulted ICs increases with increasing of temperature.展开更多
