M. Aguiar et al., ELECTROLUMINESCENT DEVICES BASED ON MODIFIED POLYSTYRENE .1. PENDANT STILBENYL GROUPS AS LIGHT EMITTERS, Synthetic metals, 71(1-3), 1995, pp. 2187-2188
A new photo and electroluminescent polymer was prepared in which conju
gation was confined to pendant chromophoric groups linked to every phe
nyl group of a polystyrene chain, namely poly(stilbenyl-p-methoxy styr
ene). The polymer is soluble, with good film forming properties and em
its a blue light when used as the active layer of a LED, with a spectr
al maximum peaking at 450 nm.
