Amphiphilic diblock copolymers based on methoxy polyethylene glycol (MePEG), 1, 6-hexanediol and maleic anhydride with different molar composition were synthesized by solution polycondensation. Self-assemble behavior of amphiphilic diblock copolymer in different solvents by dialyzing technique was discussed. The micelle morphologhy was observed by TEM. It was found that well core-shell MePEG1900/Polyester 2162 copolymer nanoparticles can be formed by self-assemble in acetone solution. In addition, the size of nanospheres measured using dynamic light scattering exhibited a narrow monodisphere size distribution and an average diameter in the ranger of less than 200nm.

Silver nanoparticles synthesized with polymers as coating agents is an effective method to overcome their poor stability and aggregation in solution. Silver-polyethylene glycol (Ag-PEG) nanoparticles were synthesized with the thiol-functionalized polyethylene glycol (SH-PEA) as the coating, reducing and stabilizing agent. The UV irradiation time, polymer and silver nitrate concentration for the synthesis were investigated. The concentration of silver nitrate had significant effect on the morphology of Ag-PEG nanoparticles. When increasing the concentration of silver nitrate, SEM and TEM images showed that Ag-PEG nanoparticles changed from Janus to multi-core shell structure. Meanwhile, pure silver particles in the two hybrid nanoparticles presented spherical shape and had the similar size of 15 nm. The antibacterial activities and cytotoxicity of the two structural Ag-PEG nanoparticles were investigated to understand colloid morphology effect on the properties of AgNPs. The results of antibacterial activities showed that the two structural Ag-PEG nanoparticles exhibited strong antibacterial activities against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis. The Janus nanoparticles had larger minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bacterial concentration (MBC) values than the multi-core shell counterparts. The results of cytotoxicity showed the Janus Ag-PEG nanoparticles had lower toxicity than the multi-core shell nanoparticles.
