| Abstract: | The mobility of fluorescent probe molecules in the microdomains formed by polyelectrolyte complexes (PEC) in aqueous solution was investigated by the fluorescence polarization method. The degree of fluorescence polarization (p) for the anthracene (Anth) chromophores attached to anionic polyelectrolytes increased with complexation, indicating the restricted mobility of probe molecules in the PEC microdomains. These p values depended on the properties of added polycations, which were not in parallel with the fluorescence intensities of the Anth chromophores. |
