The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of the molecular mass and accordingly the polymer chain length on mucoadhesion and cohesion of thiolated polymers. Linear poly(acrylic acid)-cysteine (PAA-Cys) conjugates of 2-, 45-, 250- and 450 kDa (PAA(2)-CYS, PAA(45)-CYS, PAA(250)-Cys and PAA(450)-Cys) and polycarbophil-cysteine (PCP-Cys, 750-3000 kDa), all displaying on average 404.1 +/- 65.5 muMol thiol groups per gram polymer were compressed into tablets to perform disintegration tests, mucoadhesion studies and viscosity measurements. Moreover, the influence of free unbound cysteine on mucoadhesion was evaluated. Disintegration tests showed a stability of the tablets as following: PAA(2)-Cys
