Abstract: The aqueous solution properties of polyglycidol-based analogues are examined by rhealogy in relation to pluronic block polymers. Shear thinning is observed at concentrations above the critical micellization concentration. Zero shear viscosities are maximum at polyglycidol content of 50% wt, and decreased with increase in temperature.
