Abstract:

A labeled green fluorescent polystyrene sulfonate (LNaPSS) was synthesized using Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization (ATRP). This dataset reports the light scattering signal and molecular weight of LNaPSS in buffer with 3 monomer:initiator ratios obtained through Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC). This dataset also reports the decay of ATRP-produced LNaPSS in water measured through fluorescence photobleaching recovery (FPR).
