Abstract

Photoluminescence (PL) intensities of C60-doped poly(methyl methacrylate-co-ethyl acrylate) (P(MMA-co-EA)) and poly(methyl methacrylate-co-methacrylic acid) (P(MMA-co-MAA)), increase gradually during laser irradiation in air. Concomitantly, their PL peaks are broadened and blue-shifted. C70-doped copolymers exhibit a rapid increase in PL intensity soon after the start of laser irradiation, but the PL intensities then decrease to a minimum upon further irradiation. After that, their PL intensities increase again, similar to that of C60-doped copolymers. By analyzing UV-visible spectra, these increases in PL are attributed to the formation of some fullerene oxide-copolymer complex by laser induced photochemical oxidation reactions.
