The association behavior of random copolymers of sodium 2-(acrylamido)-2-methylpropanesulfonate (AMPS) and dodecyl methacrylate (DMA) with its content (f DMA) varying from 1 to 15 mol % was investigated by fluorescence and quasielastic light scattering (QELS) techniques in 0.1 M NaCl aqueous solutio...
