The purpose of the present investigation deals with a comparative study between the magnitudes of the local viscosity and/or the polarity of the hydrophobic microdomains generated by poly (3‐hexadecyl‐1‐vinylimidazolium bromide) in an aqueous medium using a cinnamylidene molecular rotor and pyrene as fluorescent probes. Moreover, the results are compared with the data obtained with micelles of conventional surfactants such as the homopolymer repetitive unit model and CTAB.
