Abstract: ) and still remained as nanoparticles (42.11 ± 7.41 nm). Insulin, a model drug, was ion-exchanged with PANI : PSS, replacing PSS. The amount of insulin loaded into PANI : PSS (insulin-PANI : PSS) was varied with weight ratios of 0.5 : 1, 1 : 1, and 3 : 1, with the 1 : 1 wt ratio exhibiting 96.4% loading efficiency. The synthesized PANI : PSS is demonstrated as a potential insulin carrier for transdermal drug delivery.
