“…Previous hybrid systems have been made by coacervating metal oxide ((Pb,Bi)(Ti,Fe)O 3 or CeO 2 ) micro- or nanoparticles with polyelectrolytes − through intermolecular interactions, or by directly forming coacervates, using negatively charged nanoparticles, e.g., quantum dots, as the polyanion. , The organic–organic composites have been constructed by loading a coacervate matrix with active organic materials such as curcumin, baicalin, plasmid DNA, bortezomib anticancer drug, or liposomes. − These hybrid materials show diverse physical and chemical characteristics including piezoelectric, fluorescent, , film-formation, antibiofouling, and redox properties. Some of these materials have been used as pharmaceutical carriers. , While a hybrid system with electrical conductivity is known through the recent work of Tang and coauthors on conductive polyacrylamide/tannic acid composite coacervate and Mu and coauthors on silver-filled coacervate which opens up for vast application opportunities within electronics.…”
