Amphiphilic diblock copolymers, poly(n-butyl acrylate)-block-poly(acrylic acid) (PnBA-PAA), with narrow molecular weight distribution (PDI 4.7. Pyrene steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy and fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) studies indicate the existence of a very low critical micelle concentration (cmc similar to 10(-8) mol/L). The number-average hydrodynamic radii of the micelles, as determined by FCS, range from 28 to 55 urn, depending on the PAA block length. FCS data indicate that micellar sizes significantly decrease upon dilution for salt-free systems. This is attributed to a dynamic, but kinetically controlled, behavior of these self-assembled nanostructures. In saline solutions the micellar sizes remain constant above the "apparent" cmc (cmc*), which is attributed to slower dynamics of unimer exchange between micelles.
