Popis: The size of the hydrophobic microdomains of a hydrolyzed copolymer of maleic anhydride and hexyl vinyl ether has been measured in aqueous LiCl solutions by luminescence quenching using a single photon counting technique. Several probe-quencher combinations were employed. The number of repeat units per microdomain averaged 45.6 and was insensitive to changes in the extent of micellization brought about by variations in pH and to changes in the probe-quencher systems. The extent of micellization was deduced from the maximum solubilization achievable with a number of water-insoluble organic compounds
