Monodispersed poly(l-lactide)-block-poly(oxyethylene) (PLLA−PEG) and poly(l-lactide)-block-poly(oxyethylene)-block-poly(l-lactide) (PLLA−PEG−PLLA) were synthesized, and their nanoparticles were successfully prepared in an aqueous medium. Both particles of the di- and triblock copolymers were nanoscale in size, consisting of hydrophobic PLLA and hydrophilic PEG in the core and shell, respectively. The size of the PLLA−PEG−PLLA particles increased with increasing polymer concentration in the medium, while that of the PLLA−PEG particles was constant irrespective of the polymer concentration. When these particles were cast and heat-treated on a mica substrate, band structures having 1−2 nm thickness were formed on the surface for both copolymers as observed by atomic force microscopy. The band structures of PLLA−PEG showed parallel alignment with each other, while those of PLLA−PEG−PLLA formed a characteristic network system resembling the neuron system observed in animal tissues.
