Abstract: Aqueous solutions of poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) and its electrostatic complexes with sodium polyacrylate were deposited onto glass surfaces. Upon successive washing cycles, they formed thin stable coatings that exhibited antimicrobial activity towards gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. The obtained results are valuable for the development of antibacterial coatings.

Keywords: polycation, polyanion, polycomplexes, polymeric coating, removal with water, antimicrobial activity.
