Figure 4. Aggregation behavior of PAA-TPE0.02 in the presence of Ca2+.

Figure 4

(a) Changes in the autocorrelation functions of PAA-TPE0.02 (10 mg/L) at 25 °C in a water/methanol mixture (1/1 v/v) containing various concentrations of CaCl2 obtained by dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements. (b) Ca2+-concentration dependence of the logarithms of hydrodynamic diameter (Dh) and fluorescence intensity of PAA-TPE0.02 at 465 nm. (c) Time-dependent changes in the autocorrelation functions at 25 °C of PAA-TPE0.02 (10 mg/L) in a water/methanol mixture (1/1 v/v) containing 0.4 mM of CaCl2. (d) Time dependence of the logarithms of hydrodynamic diameter (Dh) and fluorescence intensity of PAA-TPE0.02 at 465 nm. (e) Schematic illustration of a plausible aggregation behavior of PAA-TPE0.02 in the presence of Ca2+.
