## Abstract This study investigates the improved swelling behavior of chitosan/poly(acrylic acid) complex by solvent (methanol, ethanol, and acetone) extraction. The complex is developed by photoinitiated freeβradical polymerization of acrylic acid in the presence of chitosan. The swelling ratio of

## Abstract **Summary:** We report here a study on the microstructure formation process of polymeric nanoparticles based on polyelectrolyte complexes. When polyanion poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) was dropped into polycation chitosan (CS) solution, CSβPAA nanoparticles with diverse microstructure would b
Complex formation between poly(acrylic acid) and methylcellulose in aqueous solutions has been studied by viscometric and turbidimetric methods. The critical pH values in their dependence of polymer concentration were determined. The inΒ―uence of the nature of a nonionic polymer on the composition an
Water-soluble chitosan with a 50% deacetylation degree was prepared according to the literature. The mixtures of water-soluble chitosan and poly(acry1ic acid) (PAA) in water was studied by various experimental techniques, such as viscometry, potentiometry, and transmittance measurements. The results
