I. Benjamin et al., Blue-green LEDs from poly (phenylenevinylene) grafted with poly(ethylene imine): improved stability and coordination of transition metals, J MAT CHEM, 9(7), 1999, pp. 1387-1389
Light emitting diode devices prepared from poly(phenylenevinylene) grafted
with poly(ethylene imine) show blue shifted spectra (lambda(max)approximate
to 475-490nm) proportional to the ratio of the grafted to ungrafted segmer
s and significantly (up to sevenfold) improved lifetimes; further coordinat
ion of transition metals led to increased electroluminescence intensity.
