Abstract

Ionic complexes of microbially produced poly(β,L-malic acid) and alkyltrimethylammonium surfactants with linear alkyl chains containing even numbers of carbon atoms from 14 up to 22, were investigated. Complexes with a stoichiometric or nearly stoichiometric composition were prepared by precipitation from equimolar mixtures of aqueous solutions of the two components. All complexes were found to ...
