Nanosecond fluorescence lifetime and ESR techniques were used to investigate the interaction of poly (allylamine) s (PAA) containing long alkyl or benzyl groups with fluorescent probes in an aqueous solution. The fluorescence decay curve was deconvoluted into twocomponents: lifetimes= 14-22 ns and r2=3-5 ns are assigned to the probes in the hydrophobic sphere of the amphiphilic polycation and in bulk water, respectively. The rotational correlation times (tr) for thespin probe were also obtained as greater than 10 ns and approximately 0.1 ns, respectively. The compact polymer domain is formed in a low concentration range (approximately 10" 4 M) and keeps its structure up to the higher concentration range. The values of increase with an increase in the chain length and the content of substituent groups. This result suggests that the lower the polarity of the domain, the greater the restriction of the probe located in the domain. The dodecylated PAA has a hard core in the interior of the domain, which loosens with a decrease in pH. On the other hand, the domain structure of the benzylated PAA has better sterical adaptability for probe molecules. The mobility of the probe was estimated to be lower in such a polymer assembly than in micelles formed from small surfactants.
