Abstract Examples are given for the application of fluorescence to the study of the following polymer problems: (a) the excluded volume effect as reflected in the kinetics of interpolymer reactions; (b) evidence for the microheterogeneity of polymer solutions; (c) kinetics of conformational transitions of polymer chain backbones. (d) Interpenetration of polymer chains; (e) the structure and molecular association of polymers in water solution; (f) ionomer behavior; (g) the “antenna effect.” © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
