“…It is also applicable to substrates of any shape, it is environmentally-friendly and it allows room temperature processing and low-cost manufacturing [25]. Polyelectrolyte multilayered films have therefore been considered for biomedical application such as capsules for drug delivery [26,27], immunosensing [28], regenerative neurobiology [29], antibacterial and anti fungal protection [30,31]. Despite its potential, LbL has not yet been translated for routine application in the manufacture of medical devices, and further research is required to demonstrate its practical value.…”

“…[8] Therefore, numerous release mechanism have been incorporated within these capsules. Inherent to their polyionic nature, polyelectrolyte capsules are prone to ionic strength and pH.…”

“…[6] While the polymeric shell is fully permeable to low molecular weight compounds such as ions and small drug molecules, they are impermeable to larger molecules. This property, schematically illustrated in Figure 1, renders polymeric multilayer capsules ideally suited for the encapsulation of biotherapeutics such as proteins, peptides, and nucleic acids like DNA, siRNA etc… [7][8][9] While the aqueous void of the capsules should provide physico-and bio-chemical stability to the molecules of interest, the capsule surface could be engineered in order to (1) target specific cell populations, (2) activate certain cell functions upon binding of the capsules to the cell surface or upon intracellular uptake, (3) release the capsule content at the required moment when reaching the target site or (4) upon a well-defined stimulus.…”
