Uncharged ELP (a, data represented as triangles) and (−)charged ELP (b, data represented as circles) in DI water display reversible transition behavior. The average hydrodynamic radius of three accumulations is measured as the temperature of 10 µg/mL solutions of ELP is raised from 20 °C to 60 °C and 70 °C respectively (heating data shown in red) and cooled back down to 20 °C and 27 °C respectively (cooling data shown in blue) at a rate of 2 °C per minute. Lines between data points are added to help the reader more clearly see the transition behavior.
