General description

Poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) is a water-soluble weak-base and a biodegradable polymer.

Application

Poly(allylamine hydrochloride) can be used as a starting material to prepare:
  • Chitosan/PAH polymer blend films by solution casting technique. These films can be employed in injectable drug delivery systems and tissue generation.
  • Cross-linked amino-modified graphene oxide for the removal of Cr(IV) from aqueous solutions.
  • Polyelectrolyte multilayers(PEMs) by the layer-by-layer method. These PEMs can be used to prepare controlled drug delivery systems and coatings with controlled cell adhesion properties.
Used to make redox hydrogel-modified electrodes for measuring enzyme responses.

Features and Benefits

  • Excellent environmental stability
  • Water-soluble
  • Low cost

The mechanism of the cellular uptake of polyelectrolyte microcapsules and its influences on the functions and toxicity of human SMCs are explored. The covalently assembled poly(allylamine hydrochloride)/glutaraldehyde microcapsules are easily ingested by SMCs mainly through macropinosis and caveolae-mediated endocytosis pathways.
