Abstract

A polystyrene polymer of narrow molecular weight distribution was carboxylated, then reduced, and finally esterified with NBD-aminohexanoic acid [6-(7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl)-aminohexanoic acid]. The self-diffusion of the NBD-labelled polystyrene polymer in concentrated solutions of the unlabelled polystyrene polymer was measured by the method of fluorescence recovery after photobleaching over a concentration range from 0.017 g/ml to 0.41 g/ml at room temperature. In the semi-dilute region, the concentration dependence of diffusion coefficient was found to be in agreement with the predictions of scaling concepts.
