Abstract
The lifetimes and quantum yields of organic dyes are widely investigated due to their potential application in organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). With a view to explore the possibility of enhancing the fluorescent properties of organic conjugated polymers such as polycarbazole, the present preliminary study reports for the first time, dye modification of polycarbazole using as acid orange (AO), fluorescein (Fluo) and Rhodamine 6G (R6G) for improving its fluorescence properties. The modification of PCz via doping was confirmed by FTIR, UV–visible, XRD and TEM analyses. The fluorescence studies and confocal microscopy were carried out both in solution and solid states to investigate the behavior of the dye modified PCz. Doping was found to be governed by the chemical structure of the dye. PCz-AO revealed intense doping which was confirmed by FTIR and UV–visible studies. PCz-Fluo and PCz-R6G exhibited the highest quantum yield and fluorescence emission in the solid state. Hence, by tailoring the structure of these conjugated polymers, stable fluorescence emitting materials can be designed for their potential application in OLEDs.
