Abstract
⺠Novel polyelectrolyte complexes of mucoadhesive thiolated chitosan were first developed. ⺠Microspheres thiolated quaternized chitosan/alginate PEC can be easily formed by electrospray. ⺠Thiolated chitosan/alginate exhibited good swelling behavior and sustained release of drug. ⺠They might be suitable polymers for drug delivery systems in any mucus site organs.
