Efficient and Tunable White-Light Emission Using a Dispersible Porous Polymer.
Alex M JamesRobert DawsonPublished in: Macromolecular rapid communications (2020)
A dispersible porous polymer (PEG113 -b-DVB800 -co-AA200 ) based on the controlled radical polymerization of divinylbenzene and acrylic acid with a poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) macrochain transfer agent (macro-CTA) is synthesized and postsynthetically modified with anthracene. This blue-emitting porous polymer is used to encapsulate the yellow-emitting fluorophore rhodamine B into its core, resulting in a white-light emitting dispersion with a quantum yield of 38% and commission internationale de l'éclairage coordinates of (X = 0.33, Y = 0.32).
