M. Szadkowskanicze et al., CONCENTRATION-DEPENDENCE OF PYRENE EXCIMER FORMATION IN DOPED POLYETHYLENE, Journal of photochemistry and photobiology. A, Chemistry, 75(2), 1993, pp. 125-129
Pyrene-doped low density polyethylene films were studied by steady sta
te and time-resolved fluorescence emission Spectroscopy at room temper
ature for dopant concentrations up to about 1.5 x 10(-2) mol dm-3. The
excimer fluorescence observed in these films for a high pyrene concen
tration (about 10(-2) mol dm-3) was proposed to result either from pyr
ene molecular pairs close to the excimer configuration or from pyrene
aggregates which satisfy the geometrical requirements for excimer form
ation.
