Abstract

A new POSS (polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane)-substituted polyfluorene was synthesized from the nickel-catalyzed Yamamoto coupling reaction. The synthesized polymers could be well characterized by 1H NMR, FT-IR, and elemental analysis. PL spectra of PFPOSSs on the quartz film showed reduced aggregation/excimer formation because the bulky POSS group prohibited interchain interactions. This effective dilution effect and the ...
