pluronic polymer is determined. If not, then the pluronics will not yield the optimal delivery system as designed unless some other variable could enter into the calculation (such as percent pluronic in the formulation). Given two variables (e.g. molecular weight and percent composition) a three-dimensional surface plot could be constructed that might yield the proper combination of
