Effect of the polyelectrolytes charge ratio on the size and charge of the polyelectrolyte complexes (PEC) formed. When the charge ratio is different from one, the nanoparticles formed are charged with the same charge as the polyion in excess. If the charge ratio equals one, uncharged particles are formed, thereby producing large aggregates.
