A series of poly[2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyltrimethylammonium chloride] (PMTAC) in aqueous NaCl solutions with a weight-average molecular weight (Mw) of between 6.0 × 103and 1.5 × 105were characterized by synchrotron radiation small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements at 298 K. The hydrodynamic radius (RH) of PMTAC initially decreased with increasing salt concentration (Cs) and then leveled off atCs= 0.5–1.0 M. The values ofz-average root-mean-square radius of gyration (⟨S2⟩z1/2) simply increased with a decrease inCsforMw> 2 × 104g/mol. In contrast, the values of ⟨S2⟩z1/2forMw< 2 × 104g/mol increased with an increase inCsprobably because of a change in local conformation of PMTAC chain. To study local chain conformation of PMTAC, scattering functions andMwdependences of ⟨S2⟩z1/2andRHfor PMTAC were analyzed in terms of the helical wormlike chain (HW) model which is a simple continuous elastic wire model with bending and torsional energies. The characteristic helix of the HW model in potential energy minimum for PMTAC clearly indicates that the local conformation is strongly influenced by the ionic strength of the solution.
