Abstract The phase transition between unimer and micellar phases of poly(ethylene oxide)–poly(propylene oxide)–poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO–PPO–PEO) triblock copolymer Pluronic P105 in aqueous solution has been investigated as a function of temperature using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The transition of 8 wt% Pluronic P105 in aqueous solution was found to occur at 25 °C. As temperature increases, PO blocks appear to be stretched conformers with strong interchain interaction, and the formation of a hydrophobic core in the micellar phase. The EO chains are found to change to a more disordered structure with low-chain packing density from the unimer phase to the micellar phase. Both the EO and PO blocks exhibit dehydration during the phase transition.
