Poloxamers
Non-ionic polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene copolymers used as emulsifiers, solubilizing agents and gelling agents. All poloxamers are chemically similar in composition, differing only in the amounts of propylene oxide and ethylene oxide added during manufacturing. The Polyoxyethylene segment imparts hydrophilicity, while he polyoxypropylene segment imparts hydrophobicity. Poloxamers 188, 407, and 338 are thermoresponsive polymers
