Jhf. Martens et al., THE EFFECT OF SIDE-GROUPS ON THE STRUCTURE AND ORDERING OF POLY(P-PHENYLENE VINYLENE) DERIVATIVES, Synthetic metals, 55(1), 1993, pp. 449-453
Results of electron diffraction experiments on unoriented and stretch-
oriented poly(p-phenylene vinylene) [PPV], poly(2,5-dimethyl-p-phenyle
ne vinylene) [PDMePV], poly(2,5-dimethoxy-p-phenylene vinylene) [PDMeO
PV] and poly(2,5-diethoxy-p-phenylene vinylene) [PDEOPV] are presented
. We make a comparison of these closely related materials and discuss
the effect that different 2,5-substituent groups have on the state of
order.
