Nasal administration offers a possibility of delivering drugs to the brain. In the present work, nasal drug delivery systems were designed based on cationic Eudragit® EPO (EPO) and anionic Eudragit® L100-55 (L100-55) methacrylate copolymers. Two types of nanocarriers were prepared using interpolyelectrolyte complexation between these polymers. The first type of nanoparticles was prepared by forming interpolyelectrolyte complexes between unmodified EPO and L100-55. The second type of nanoparticles was formed through the complexation between PEGylated L100-55 and EPO. For this purpose, PEGylated L100-55 was synthesized by chemical conjugation of L100-55 with O-(2-aminoethyl)polyethylene glycol. The mucoadhesive properties of these nanoparticles were evaluated ex vivo using sheep nasal mucosa. Nanoparticles based on EPO and L100-55 exhibited mucoadhesive properties towards nasal mucosa, whereas PEGylated nanoparticles were non-mucoadhesive hence displayed mucus-penetrating properties. Both types of nanoparticles were used to formulate haloperidol and their ability to deliver the drug to the brain was evaluated in rats in vivo.

Biguanide-based cationic polyelectrolytes are used as key components of interpolyelectrolyte complexes bolstering alginate hydrogel microcapsules employed in cell therapies. Nevertheless, electrostatic complexation of these unique polycations has not been studied before. In this study, the interaction between biguanide condensates and anionic polyelectrolytes with carboxylate groups was studied on a model system of a metformin condensate (MFC) and an anionic diblock polyelectrolyte poly(methacrylic acid)--poly(ethylene oxide) (PMAA-PEO).

In order to control pathogenic microorganisms, three polymer compositions were prepared and tested. First, a water-soluble positively charged polycomplex was synthesized via the electrostatic binding of anionic polyacrylic acid to an excess of polyethylenimine to enhance the biocidal activity of the polycation. Second, an aqueous solution of AgNO was added to the polycomplex, thus forming a ternary polycation-polyanion-Ag complex with an additional antimicrobial effect.

Recently, cellulose and other biomass nanofibers (NFs) have been increasingly utilized in the design of sustainable materials for environmental, biomedical, and other applications. However, the past literature lacks a comparison of the macromolecular and nanofibrous states of biopolymers in various materials, and the advantages and limitations of using nanofibers (NF) instead of conventional polymers are poorly understood. To address this question, hydrogels based on interpolyelectrolyte complexes (IPECs) between carboxymethyl cellulose nanofibers (CMCNFs) and chitosan (CS) were prepared by ele+ctrostatic cross-linking and compared with the hydrogels of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and CS biopolymers.

The issue of water and wind erosion of soil remains critically important. Polymeric materials offer a promising solution to this problem. In this study, we prepared and applied an interpolyelectrolyte complex (IPEC) composed of the biopolymers chitosan and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (Na-CMC) for the structuring of forest sandy soils and the enhancement of the pre-sowing treatment of Scots pine ( L.
