Abstract

The technique of preparing nonstoichiometric polyelectrolyte complexes of chitosan soluble in neutral solutions is developed. Chitosan complexes soluble in neutral solutions and meeting the behavioral criteria of water-soluble nonstoichiometric polyelectrolyte complexes are prepared via mixing of strongly acidic solutions of chitosan and polystyrenesulfonate anions taken in a nonequimolar charge-charge ratio and subsequent neutralization of the products by a solution of alkali. Thus, the region of existence of soluble complexes narrows with a decrease in the length of the host polyanion up to its full degeneration in the case of oligomeric anions. The critical concentration of a salt that brings about phase separation decreases with an increase in the relative content of the guest chitosan in a mixture and depends on the ratio of chain lengths of polymer components.
