Fluorescence decay and polarization of dansyl-labeled poly(methacrylic acid) (PMA) and poly-(acrylic acid) (PAA) have been studied as a function of pH. The decay measurements have shown that, at low pH, PMA chains form highly compact hydrophobic clusters, which are joined by short extended polymer chains. During the transition form the compact to the expanded form, the size of the clusters decreases up to a limit, beyond which the clusters disintegrate completely to an expanded polymer chain. The effect of PMA molar mass and ionic strength on this process was investigated.
