Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) (M_w = 6k, 10k, and 20k g/mol) terminated at both ends by hydrophobic fluoroalkyl segments (−(CH_2)_2C_nF_(2n+1), n = 6, 8, or 10) was synthesized and demonstrated to self-assemble into hydrogels with phase behavior and mechanical and erosion properties that can be systematically varied by molecular design. With increasing fluoroalkyl length relative to PEG length, the phase behavior of these polymers in aqueous solution changes from the single-phase behavior of familiar associative thickeners, to sol−gel coexistence, to precipitation. For those polymers that exhibit sol−gel coexistence, the equilibrium gel concentration (or swelling ratio of the gel phase) and the modulus of the gel phase are governed by the len...
