A set of amphiphilic poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(ethylene brassylate) (PEG-b-PEB) copolymers based on the PEB hydrophobic block was first synthesized by ring-opening polymerization of ethylene brassylate with an organic catalyst. The EB/PEGmolar ratios and reaction times were adjusted to achieve different chain lengths of PEB. Block copolymers that were characterized by ¹H NMR and GPC could selfassemble into multimorphological aggregates in aqueous solution, which were characterized by DLS and TEM. The hydrophobic doxorubicin (DOX) was chosen as a drug model and successfully encapsulated into the nanoparticles. The release kinetics of DOX were investigated.
