Time–temperature rheological equivalence is an important concepts with regard to the viscoelastic behavior of polymers. In this Hot Paper, the generality of an analogous relationship, time–composition equivalence, in several series of ternary block copolymer/cosolvent systems at ambient temperature was explored. In particular, triblock copolymers solvated with a miscible mixture of midblock-selective solvents which yield physical gels were studied.
