Effect of pH on the Complex Coacervation and on the Formation of Layers of Sodium Alginate and PDADMAC

Abstract: In this study, we investigated the thermodynamic features of a system based on oppositely charged polyelectrolytes, sodium alginate, and poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDADMAC) at different pH values. Additionally, a comparison of the effects of the thermodynamic parameters on the growth of the layers based on the same polymers is presented. For this investigation, different techniques were combined to compare results from the association in solution and coassembled layers at the silicon surface. Dyna… Show more

“…Thus, the increasing ionic bonds might strengthen the matrix, escalate the amount of encapsulated bioactive ingredients, and result in the greatest encapsulation efficiency [26][27]. The results agreed with previous research [28], which stated that a higher pH solution would produce less protonated forms. The protonation of the carboxylate anions can interrupt the coordination with calcium cations and reduce the existing sites for cross-linking.…”

“…The Δ H term reports the sum of all specific interactions: electrostatic, hydration, hydrophobic, hydrogen bonding, and dipolar. Calorimetry studies of polyelectrolyte complexation rarely reveal an athermal process, ,,, although this condition is almost met by a system comprising poly­(diallyldimethylammonium) (PDADMA) and poly­(styrene sulfonate) (PSS) in KBr …”

“…In the case of LbL film buildups relying on electrostatically driven interactions, assembly conditions with smaller polyelectrolyte charge densities result in less crosslinks and more loops between the layers, leading to larger thickness increments at each adsorption step of weak polyelectrolytes compared to conditions where an extended conformation of the polyelectrolyte is favored (corresponding to higher charge density). Accordingly, the growth mechanism of a polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride (PDADMAC)/ALG multilayer changed from linear to exponential behavior when the assembly pH value was changed from pH 10 (where both polyelectrolytes are ionized) to pH 3 (where ALG is protonated) [ 97 ]. It follows that the multilayer thickness, chemical composition, mechanical properties, permeability, and adhesion are largely determined by pH and ionic parameters during the LbL deposition process.…”
