This work reports on the formation and characterization of a polyelectrolyte complex based on pectin (PT), functionalized with primary amine groups (PT-NH2), and chondroitin sulfate (CS). From the simple mixture of PT-NH2 and CS, in acid conditions, it was formed a polyelectrolyte complex, labeled as PT-NH2/CS complex, which was confirmed through FTIR spectroscopy. The electrostatic interactions among the protonated amine groups from PT-NH2 and the sulfate groups from CS are responsible by complex formation. XRD patterns and thermal analysis showed that the complex formation disrupts some interactions present on the PT-NH2 and CS, but on the other hand, others are created. SEM images showed that the PT-NH2/CS complex presents a porous and rough morphology. PT-NH2/CS complex is new material that maintains the properties of CS with synergic association of properties from both polymers, which could maximize its applicability as biomaterial, for example.
