Abstract: The novel amphiprotic highly branched polyester nanoparticles (HBPN) were prepared by a copolymerization(condensation) of pentaerythritol and phthalic anhydride and studied by laser light scattering (LLS) in both of N,N-dimethylformamide(DMF) and buffer solution (pH=12).The results show that the size of HBPN can be controlled basically by the copolymerization time;HBPNis monomolecular dispersion in DMF,unsoluble in water,but can be dissolved and bears negative charges on surface in alkaline solution;a little amount of HBPN aggregated still in pH=12 buffer solution.
