Abstract

A polymethacrylate copolymer comprised of light-emissive cyano-substituted dihexylfluorenevinylene (CN-DHFV) side groups and photo-cross-linkable 4-(4-methoxycinnamoyloxy)biphenyl (MCB) mesogenic side groups was synthesized and characterized. Irradiating a thin copolymer film with linearly polarized ultraviolet (LPUV) light and subsequent annealing generated a cooperative molecular reorientation of both side groups parallel to the polarization (E) of LPUV light. The resulting reoriented film showed a polarized light emission of the CN-DHFV groups with a polarization ratio of 5.6.
