Abstract
The incorporation of water-soluble poly(sodium phenylenevinylenedicarboxyla te) in the ordered nanochannels of a hexagonal lyotropic liquid crystal net work is described. The absorption and emission behavior of the pristine, pr e-formed PPV derivative in solution, in the bulk solid state, and in the na nocomposite are compared. The effect of matrix isolation in the nanostructu red assembly on the conjugation length, conformation, stability, and alignm ent of the encapsulated PPV chains will be discussed.
