95 Luminescent Polymers
Luminescent polymers refer to polymeric luminescent materials that are able to emit light, without heating effects, in response to a stimulus. There are different stimuli; for instance, exposure to light, temperature increase, or application of an electrical current causes different types of luminescence.
Conventional luminescent polymers are classified as polymers integrated with large π-aromatic building blocks. A good example is poly(p-phenylenevinylene) (PPV), which is the most-studied conjugated polymer for electroluminescence (EL) emission. The EL light emission from PPV was discovered in 1990 at the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge. Since then, various other EL conjugated polymers ...
