This study aims to investigate the suitability of thermosensitive triblock polymer poly-(DL-lactic acid-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA)-polyethylene glycol (PEG)-PLGA as a matrix material for ocular delivery of dexamethasone acetate (DXA). The copolymer was synthesized and evaluated for its thermosensitive and gelation properties.
