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.

The article describes the synthesis and properties of α-((4-cyanobenzoyl)oxy)-ω-methyl poly(ethylene glycol), the first poly(ethylene glycol) stabilizer for metal nanoparticles that is based on a cyano rather than a thiol or thiolate anchor group. The silver particles used to evaluate the effectiveness of the new stabilizer typically have a bimodal size distribution with hydrodynamic diameters of ca. 13 and ca. 79 nm. Polymer stability was evaluated as a function of the pH value both for the free stabilizer and for the polymers bound to the surface of the silver nanoparticles using 1H NMR spectroscopy and zeta potential measurements. The polymer shows a high stability between pH 3 and 9. At pH 12 and higher the polymer coating is degraded over time suggesting that α-((4-cyanobenzoyl)oxy)-ω-methyl poly(ethylene glycol) is a good stabilizer for metal nanoparticles in aqueous media unless very high pH conditions are present in the system. The study thus demonstrates that cyano groups can be viable alternatives to the more conventional thiol/thiolate anchors.
