Rational Design of UCST-type Ureido Copolymers Based on a Hydrophobic Parameter.Thermoresponsive polymers exhibiting upper critical solution temperature (UCST)-type behavior under physiologically relevant conditions have potential as biomaterials.  Furthermore, the acylation significantly reduced the influence of serum components on Tp by eliminating interactions of copolymers with serum components such as proteins and lipids.
