The aggregation behaviors of a diblock copolymer and a triblock copolymer of poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) (PEOX) and polyethylene oxide (PEO) in aqueous solutions were investigated mainly by static and dynamic light scattering and infrared spectroscopy. PEOX is a thermoresponsive polymer that is soluble in water at room temperature, but insoluble above 60 °C, and it forms aggregates with poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) by using intermolecular hydrogen bonds.
