We take advantage of polyelectrolyte feature exhibited by natural cashew gum (Anacardium occidentaleL.) (CG), found in northeast Brazil, to employ it in the formation of electroactive nanocomposites prepared by layer-by-layer (LbL) technique. We used polyaniline unmodified (PANI) or modified with phosphonic acid (PA), PANI-PA as cationic polyelectrolyte. On the other hand, the CG or polyvinyl sulfonic (PVS) acids were used as anionic polyelectrolytes. The films were prepared with PANI or PANI-PA intercalated with CG or with PVS alternately resulting in four films with different sequences: PANI/CG PANI-PA/CG, PANI/PVS and PANI-PA/PVS, respectively. Analysis by cyclic voltammetry (CV) of the films showed that the presence of gum increases the stability of the films in acidic medium. The performance of the modified electrode of PANI-PA/CG was evaluated in electro analytical determination of dopamine (DA). The tests showed great sensitivity of the film for this analyte that was detected at 10−5 mol L−1.

The main objective of this study was to fabricate biopolymer-based microbeads, providing enteric properties and controlled release of diclofenac sodium, using layer-by-layer technique. The calcium pectinate microbeads have been designed and coated with chitosan and pectin multilayers. Drug release was performed in simulate gastric fluid (pH 1.2) for 2 hours, followed by pH 6.8 buffer for 8 hours. The effects of chitosan concentration, number of layer and drying technique on drug release were investigated. The results showed that the calcium pectinate microbeads could be simply prepared by ionotropic gelation and then coated with chitosan and pectin solutions using layer-by-layer procedure. The diameter of the microbeads ranged from 800 to 1000 μm for air-dried samples and from 1 to 2 mm for freeze-dried samples. The freeze-dried microbeads had a rough surface and many pores inside, as observed by SEM. The microbeads coated with 4% chitosan/4% pectin revealed a slower drug release than those coated with 1% chitosan/4% pectin and demonstrated a controlled release pattern. Moreover, different drying techniques and numbers of layer also influenced drug release behavior of the prepared microbeads.
