Light emitting polymers characteristics

Synthesis, Characteristics, and Applications of Intrinsically Light-Emitting Polymer Nanostructures... 

With rapid developments in nanoscience and nanotechnology, various nanostructures, including nanotubes (NTs), nanowires (NWs), and nanopaiticles (NPs), have been fabricated using light-emitting polymers [4-6], The intrinsic characteristics of jr-conjugated polymer nanostructures can be controlled through the physical dimensions, chemical processes, and post-synthetic treatments. 

In this section, we introduce post-synthetic treatments that enable further modification of the physical properties such as the structural, electrical, and optical properties of the as-prepared light-emitting polymer nanostructures. Of the various methods of controlling the intrinsic characteristics of nanostructures, we discuss the electrochemical doping and dedoping process using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and unfocused electron (E)-beam irradiation. Hydrothermal treatment of undoped NPs is presented, which involves application of external pressure and heat to NPs. Finally, we describe hybridization with nanoscale... 

We now turn to a description of the optical properties. Figures 11.1 and 11.2 show the characteristic linear absorption spectrum of the phenyl-based light emitting polymers. These are...
