Luminescence Characteristics of Hybridized Polyfluorene

Abstract

Abstract This study was to investigate luminescence characteristics of polyfluorene (PF) hybridized with silicone (agar sample) in term of the potential application in optoelectronic. The hybridization was accomplished by preparing silicone mixture comprising of epoxy and resin into different quantities (0.625 mg, 1.25 mg, 2.5 mg) of poly [(9, 9-dioctyl-fluorenyl-2, 7-diyl)-co-(1, 4-phenylene)] end capped with dimethylphenyl dissolved in toluene solution, followed by heating at 40℃ and stirring process for 5 min. In a proof of concept phase, luminescence properties of the hybridized samples were examined by using spectroscopic techniques UV-Visible (UV-VIS), photoluminescence (PL) and electroluminescence (EL). Changes in term of the peak intensity happened with respect to the quantities of PF being hybridized. Corresponding results have been systematically presented and discussed in this work.
