  • Descrição: Polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs) are prepared by mixing solutions of oppositely charged polyelectrolytes. These diffuse, amorphous precipitates may be compacted into dense materials, CoPECs, by ultracentrifugation (ucPECs) or extrusion (exPECs). The presence of salt water is essential in plasticizing PECs to allow them to be reformed and fused. When hydrated, CoPECs are versatile, rugged, biocompatible, elastic materials with applications including bioinspired materials, supports for enzymes and (nano)composites. In this review, various methods for making CoPECs are described, as well as fundamental responses of CoPEC mechanical properties to salt concentration. Possible applications as synthetic cartilage, enzymatically active biocomposites, self‐healing materials, and magnetic nanocomposites are presented. When plasticized by salt water, polyelectrolyte complexes prepared by mixing solutions of oppositely charged polyelectrolytes can be compacted and processed by ultracentrifugation or extrusion. These hydrated materials are tough, stretchable and self‐healing. Examples of applying these “saloplastics” as biomaterials, enzyme supports, and magnetic nanocomposites are presented.
