A charge-transfer fluorescence molecule has been applied to study the
structure of polystyrene latices and polystyrene-glycidylmethacrylate
core-shell latices. Information oil the composition of the latex could
be obtained on the basis of the combined application of steady state
and time-resolved fluorescence measurements. Time-resolved measurement
s were done using a frequency-domain approach; the time-resolved data
were interpreted using the maximum entropy method of analysis. (C) 199
