Abstract

The effect of added antioxidants and triplet quenchers on the photostabilities of thin films of a pentiptycene-contg. poly(p-phenylene ethynylene), and poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene) was studied. The rational design and synthesis of antioxidants and triplet quenchers that are compatible with conjugated polymer films are also presented. [on SciFinder(R)]
