Abstract

A commercial poly(acrylic acid) (PAA, Mn = 450 000 g mol−1) has been labeled with high levels (9.1 mol %) of pyrene by reaction with 1-pyrenylmethylamine in the presence of boric acid. The modified polymer was found to display an unusual photophysical behavior closely resembling that found for pyren...
