Polyfluorene is a polymer that emits light by electroluminescence.
Structure
The building block of the polymer is the fluorene unit, which are typically linked together through the 2- and 7-positions.
Uses
Polyfluorenes are electroactive and photoactive materials with exceptional electrooptical characteristics which are used for the production of light-emitting diodes. Polyfluorenes can emit colors over the whole visible range.
The first blue light emitting polymer diode was produced with a substituted polyfluorene (poly(9,9-dihexylfluorene)).
Laser technology in combination with polyfluorene plastics are used in one technique for explosives detection.
