Abstract

In this study, the optical properties of poly(maleic anhydride-alt-vinyl acetate) (PMV) synthesized by different polymerization methods are studied systematically. Compared to self-stabilized precipitation polymerization (pPMV), solution polymerization produces PMV solids (sPMV) with an extraordinarily high quantum yield (QY) of 20.65%. Additionally, redissolving pPMV in good solvents (rPMV) will also help to increase QY. The rising QY of sPMV and rPMV supports the idea that good solvents will reduce the rigidity of polymer chains and promote cluster formation, which is confirmed by lower glass transition temperature (Tg ) and small angle X-ray scatterer (SAXS). The study also finds that PMV exhibits application potentials in white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) and light conversion film.
