The photophysical and solution properties of
naphthalene-labeled styrene/N,N-dimethyl
maleimido
propylammonium propane sulfonate copolymer, poly(SDMPAPS)/NA, were
studied in terms of fluorescence,
cloud point, and viscosity measurements. The ratio of intensities
of the excimer and monomer fluorescence
(I
E/I
M) was shown as a
function of polymer concentration in deionized water. The value of
I
E/I
M
decreases
with an increase in the salt concentration. The addition of
anionic surfactants to the aqueous solution
of poly(SDMPAPS)/NA can either induce or break the interpolymer
aggregation. When the electrolyte
concentration increases, the Stern−Volmer quenching constant
(K
sv) also increases. The phase
behavior
of poly(SDMPAPS)/NA shows an upper critical solution temperature
around 17 °C. The intrinsic viscosity
of the poly(SDMPAPS)/NA in the presence of different salts
reflects the influence of these salts on the
hydrodynamic volume of the polymer chain for poly(SDMPAPS)/NA.
A model of the interaction between
poly(SDMPAPS)/NA and surfactant in aqueous solution is
proposed.
