Molecular interactions between liposomes, the surface of which was modified by adding 6mol% of poly (ethylene glycol) -lipid (termed PEG-liposomes), and chondroitin sulfate C (CS) as a water-soluble polymer have been investigated in terms of the particle size, zeta-potential, microviscosity, micropolarity and permeability of PEG-liposomes. The particle size and the absolute value of the zeta-potential of PEG-liposomes were found to increase with increasing concentration of CS added. The permeability of PEG-liposomes was decreased by the addition of CS. These were considered to be caused by the complexation between CS and liposomal PEG-chains and by the further adsorption of CS onto CS-PEG-liposomes. The effect of CS on the microviscosity of PEG-liposomes was dependent on the concentration of CS. The packing state of PEG-liposomal lipid bilayer became most rigid by the addition of ca. 4mg mL<SUP>-1</SUP> of CS.
