Popis: | The behaviour of new cationic amphiphilic copolymers derived from 3-vinylpyridine was studied in aqueous medium. The formation of hydrophobic microdomains was evidenced by fluorescence spectroscopy using a molecular rotor as a fluorescent probe and their structure was visualized by cryo-transmission electron microcospy (Cryo-TEM). The parameters (shape and size) obtained from Cryo-TEM were discussed in relation to the copolymers composition and to the local viscosity defined by the rotor fluorescence quantum yield. |
