Poly(sodium 10-undecenoate) is intuitively expected to have some of the characteristics of micelles in aqueous solution. Its ability to associate with substrate molecules has been tested with spin-labeled probes. Electron spin resonance (ESR) measurements show unambiguously that the polymer readily associates with both amphiphilic and hydrophobic substrates, as does the sodium 10-undecenoate micelle. Analysis of the ESR spectra allows a comparison of the associated species formed in polymer solution with those formed in micelle solution. Both similarities and differences are observed. During the early 1930's, Hartley developed a simple model of surfactant micelles: in aqueous solution, surfactant monomers aggregate to form spheroidal colloids pictured as liquid hydro- phobic droplets surrounded by hydrophilic shells.2 This model has evolved in its details over the past 50 years, but has remained the basis for understanding the physical properties of aqueous micelle^.^-^ Recently, Dill and Flory proposed an important refinement of this modeL6 On the basis of a statistical lattice theory,' they concluded that the core of a spherical micelle is relatively ordered (crystal-like) near the center and relatively disordered (liquid-like) away from the center. Direct confirmation of their calculations has not yet been made. The experiments described in this paper take advantage of a micelle/polymer pair formed from the same surfactant monomer. Sodium 10-undecenoate has been shown to undergo radiation- induced polymerization in aqueous solutions of the monomer, provided the concentration exceeds the critical micelle concen- tration (cmc).* The polymer (-10-mer) has t he primary structure ~~~~~
