## Abstract An ideal gene carrier is required both in safety and efficiency for transfection. Polyethylenimine (PEI), a wellβstudied cationic polymer, has been proved with high transfection efficiency, but is reported as toxicity in many cell lines. In this study, PEI was coupled with polyethylene
Hyper-branched polyethylenimine grafted polycaprolactone block mono-methoxyl poly (ethylene glycol) copolymer (hy-PEI-g-PCL-b-mPEG) was obtained through the conjugation of mPEG-PCL with hyperbranched PEI (hy-PEI) based on the Michael addition. mPEG-PCL was synthesized by ring-opening polymerization
