pH-sensitive nanoparticles were prepared from a novel amphiphilic copolymer poly(2-phenyl-1, 3-dioxan-5-yl methacrylate-co-2-hydroxyethyl acrylate), poly(PDM-co-HEA), which was synthesized from the pH-sensitive hydrophobic monomer 2-phenyl-1, 3-dioxan-5-yl methacrylate (PDM) and the hydrophilic monomer 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate (HEA) with unit ratio (4:6) via radical polymerization. The random amphiphilic polymer could form nanoparticles in aqueous media with sizes of about 167Â nm (PDIÂ =Â 0.03). The morphology of the nanoparticles was determined by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). When the nanoparticles solution was adjusted to pHÂ =Â 5.5, sizes of the nanoparticles increased from 167Â nm to about 800Â nm within 24Â h, characterized by DLS. The critical aggregation concentration (CAC) of the copolymer was determined to be 5.3Â mg/L (1.7Â ÃÂ 10â7Â M). The insoluble Nile Red could be delivered into the Hep3B cells by the nanoparticles and released in cytoplasm determined by fluorescence microscopy.
