Abstract
Graft copolymers of bacterial polyesters were prepared by direct condensation of poly(3‐hydroxyoctanoate‐co‐9‐carboxy‐3‐hydroxydecanoate) (PHOD) and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) or poly(lactic acid) (PLA). Nanoparticles from PHO, PHOD, PHOD‐g‐PEG, and PHOD‐g‐PLA were obtained by solvent displacement without stabilizer, and their stability in different aqueous media with different salt concentrations were studied. The results showed that the presence of hydrophilic PEG on the particle surface prevents the aggregation promotion by salts in aqueous solution. PHOD‐g‐PEG appears to be a promising candidate for site‐specific drug delivery systems.

In the case of grafting of acrylics of more than 25% in the grafting product, mechanical properties of the grafting products decreased greatly compared with the raw polyester.

## Abstract **Summary:** The title polymers, in which both the stem and the graft are biodegradable, have been synthesized for the first time in a one‐pot, lipase‐catalyzed, graft‐polymerization reaction (in bulk, at 70 °C) of __β__‐butyrolactone (__β__‐BL) and __ε__‐caprolactone (__ε__‐CL) onto ch
