There are provided amphiphilic biodegradable block copolymers comprising polyethylenimine (PEI) as a hydrophilic block and aliphatic polyesters as a hydrophobic block, which can form various size of polymer aggregates and have very low critical micelle concentration, approximately 10-3 g/l in comparison with low-molecular-weight micelle, and self-assembled polymer aggregates formed from the block copolymers in aqueous milieu, which can be applied to solubilization of insoluble drug and a delivery system of proteins, genes or drugs. |
