Vm. Kobryanskii et al., EFFECT OF STORAGE OF PRECURSOR POLYMER-SOLUTION ON THE ELECTRONIC ANDPHYSICAL STRUCTURE OF POLY(P-PHENYLENEVINYLENE), Synthetic metals, 84(1-3), 1997, pp. 257-258
Structure and photoluminescent properties of poly (p-phenylenevinylene
) (PPV) prepared via the precursor route were investigated. The result
s obtained offer an assumption that the long-term storage of the precu
rsor solutions at 0-5 degrees C brings about formation of double bonds
and methoxy groups in the polymer chain. Preparing of films from the
such precursor solutions is accompanied by formation of a solid phase
with highly ordered conjugated areas.
