Abstract A series of water soluble polyamides were synthesized via melt-polycondensation using glutaric acid and poly(propylene glycol) bis(2-aminopropyl ether) as monomers. The chemical structures of the polyamides were ascertained by FT-IR and 1H NMR. The thermal properties of the polyamides under consideration were measured by TGA and DSC. It was found that one kind of the polyamides can self-assemble into nano-size vesicles with densely packed multilayer wall in aqueous solution, while another polyamide can self-assemble into large complex micelles. Interestingly, these large complex micelles display a unique acid sensitive characteristic according to the TEM and PST measurements.
