Another possibility to form a stable aggregate is the complexation of charges of opposite sign. They are used for the delivery of charged chemicals as well as for specific binding to charged targets on the cell membranes. Usually the drug carrier designed for the delivery of a charged polymer is composed of a diblock copolymer: one block is charged and forms a complex with the drug while the other block is neutral and is devised to form the corona around the aggregate, aiming at shielding the complex from the solution. The SCMFT method can also take into account charges.
