The combination of the thermoresponsive polymer and protein has demonstrated great promise in its applications in drug delivery and tissue engineering fields. This study described the impact of bovine serum albumin (BSA) on the micellization and sol–gel transition behaviors of poloxamer 407 (PX). The micellization of aqueous PX solutions with and without BSA was examined using isothermal titration calorimetry. In the calorimetric titration curves, the pre-micellar region, the transition concentration region, and the post-micellar region were observed. The presence of BSA had no noticeable impact on critical micellization concentration, but the inclusion of BSA caused the pre-micellar region to expand. In addition to studying the self-organization of PX at a particular temperature, the temperature-induced micellization and gelation of PX were also explored using differential scanning calorimetry and rheology. The incorporation of BSA had no discernible effect on critical micellization temperature (CMT), but it did affect gelation temperature (Tgel) and gel integrity of PX-based systems. The response surface approach illustrated the linear relation between the compositions and the CMT. The major factor affecting the CMT of the mixtures was the concentration of PX. The alteration of the Tgeland the gel integrity were discovered to be a consequence of the intricate interaction between PX and BSA. BSA mitigated the inter-micellar entanglements. Hence, the addition of BSA demonstrated a modulating influence on Tgeland a softening effect on gel integrity. Understanding the influence of serum albumin on the self-assembly and gelation of PX will enable the creation of thermoresponsive drug delivery and tissue engineering systems with controlled gelation temperatures and gel strength.
