The activation gap Δ of the fractional quantum Hall states at constant fillings ν=2/3 and 2/5 has been measured as a function of the perpendicular magnetic field B. A linear dependence of Δ on B is observed while approaching the spin-polarization transition. This feature allows a direct measurement of the g factor of composite fermions which appears to be heavily renormalized by interactions and strongly sensitive to the electronic filling factor.
