A novel polyelectrolyte complex between amphiphilic poly (allyl amine) and sodium alginate. (2015)
Thesis
SARTAWI, Z. 2015. A novel polyelectrolyte complex between amphiphilic poly (allyl amine) and sodium alginate. Robert Gordon University, MRes Thesis.

Polyelectrolytes are charge-carrying polymers. When two oppositely-charged polyelectrolytes are combined in a solution favouring charge expression, a polyelectrolyte complex can result. These complexes have been shown to be useful in the field of dru... Read More about A novel polyelectrolyte complex between amphiphilic poly (allyl amine) and sodium alginate..
