Popis: A linear polycation, poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride), electrostatically interacts with anionic latex particles from a carboxylated butadiene–styrene copolymer in aqueous solution thus forming an interpolyelectrolyte complex. A mutual neutralization of oppositely charged latex and polycation groups occurs at W = latex/polycation = 50 w/w ratio. At W = 27, an ultimate polycation adsorption is reached, resulting in the formation of positive polycomplex particles, while at W ˂ 27, two-component systems are formed composed of positive polycomplex particles and free polycation. A film created from the W = 12 formulation shows a high toxicity to Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and yeast. Repeated washing the film leads to partial removal of polycation and a 50% decrease in the activity of the film only towards Gram-negative Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The results indicate the potential for use of the mixed polymer formulations for the fabrication of antimicrobial films and coatings.
