The paper describes the preparation and characterization of novel biodegradable nanoparticles based on self-assembly of poly-gamma-glutamic acid (γ-PGA) and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG). The nanosystems were stable in aqueous media at low pH conditions. Solubility of the systems was determined by turbidity measurements. The particle size and the size distribution of the polyelectrolyte complexes were identified by dynamic lightscattering and transmission electron microscopy.It was found that the size and size distribution of the nanosystems depends on the concentrations of γ-PGA and PEG solutions and their ratio as well as on the pH of the mixture and the order of addition. The diameter of individual particles was in the range of 30–270 nm. measured by TEM, and the average hydrodynamic diameters were between 130 and 300 nm. These biodegradable, self-assembling stable nanocomplexes might be useful for several biomedical applications.
