A series of amphiphilic poly(ether-anhydrides) terpolymers composed of sebacic acid, 1,3-bis(carboxyphe- noxy) propane, and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) were synthe- sized via melt-condensation polymerization. The resultant terpolymers were characterized by 1 H-nuclear magnetic reso- nance spectroscopy ( 1 H-NMR), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, gel permeation chromatography, X-ray diffrac- tion, polarization optical microscope, differential scanning calorimeter, and water contact angle. Biodegradable micelles were prepared via a precipitation method through self-emul- sification. The shape of these micelles was uniform and spheric according to the atomic force microscopy and trans- mission electron microscopy images. The dynamic light scat- tering measurements indicated that the diameters of micelles were typically in the range of 118-359 nm. The results dis- played the PEG-based ether-anhydride terpolymers may be of great potential as nanoscaled carriers for drug delivery system. V C 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
