Poly(diglycidyl maleate‐ co ‐stearyl methacrylate) (P(DGMA‐ co ‐SMA)) with reactive epoxy groups was synthesized by reaction of poly(maleic anhydride‐ co ‐stearyl methacrylate) (P(MA‐ co ‐SMA)) and epichlorohydrin. The effect of precipitant on self‐assembly behaviors of the resultant copolymer was investigated. It was found that vesicles and nanotubule liked aggregates can be obtained through self‐assembly of P(DGMA‐ co ‐SMA) in THF solution using CH 3 CH 2 OH (EtOH) as precipitant while spheral aggregates can be obtained using H 2 O as precipitant. The mechanism of the self‐assembly behavior was discussed. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 2007
