Original Abstract

Physico-chemical interactions in hyaluronan-surfactant system result in nanoparticles formation which can be used in targeted delivery of hydrophobic active substances. The aim of our study was to prepare hyaluronic acid nanoparticles based on electrostatic interactions with oppositely charged molecules. Particles were investigated using dynamic light scattering and Laser Doppler Velocimetry methods. Size distribution and zeta potential measurement were utilized to explore the formation of complex micelles. Particles size distributions depend on type of solvent, molecular weight of hyaluronan and charge ratio of components of the hyaluronan-surfactant system. Aggregates formation is influenced by preparation of the system. Stability of the micellar particles depends on zeta potential value.
