Abstract

A new polystyrene-grafted Poly(phenylene ethylene) (PPE) that prevents polymer aggregations and helps in increase in the solid-state quantum efficiency, was reported. The resultant PPE shows blue electroluminescence and can be used as organic light-emitting diode (OLED). The structural arrangement of The resultant PPE shows synthetic flexibility in terms of tuning and accessing to other emission wavelengths and material properties. The molecular weight of the polymer was determined by the use of gel-permeation chromatography (GPC).
