Abstract
The radical polymerization of styrene in the presence of six fluorescent br ighteners (FB), derivatives of 4,4'-bis(1,3,5-triazin-2-ylamino)-stilbene-2 ,2-disulfonic acid comprising polymerizable groups, has been studied. By me ans of UV-Vis and FT-IR spectroscopy it was found that the fluorescent brig hteners are covalently bound to the polymer chain. The introduction of fluo rescent brighteners into the polymer chain results in polystyrene with fluo rescent properties.
