A. Viallat et al., CHARGE-TRANSFER INTERACTION AND CHAIN ASSOCIATION IN POLY(ETHER IMIDE) SOLUTIONS - A FLUORESCENCE SPECTROSCOPIC STUDY, Polymer, 35(13), 1994, pp. 2730-2736
The analysis of absorption and fluorescence spectra of poly(ether imid
e) solutions and related model compounds shows the existence of charge
-transfer complexes in poly(ether imide) solutions and in poly(ether i
mide) solid state. A correlation is established between the fluorescen
ce emission due to charge-transfer complexes and the aggregation state
of poly(ether imide) solutions. The kinetics of aggregation of a solu
tion and the aggregate dissociation phenomenon in dilute solution are
observed from the study of fluorescence emission of poly(ether imide)
solutions.
