Poly(acryl amide)s containing INC moiety in the side chain were prepared by radical polymerization using 6-(4-acryloylaminobenzoylamino)-1,7-dioctylindolo[3,2-b]carbazole (AAINC) as a novel monomer. The obtained polymers exhibited the good solubility and the high thermal stability, where Tg and Td 5 of the homopolymer of AAINC were over 200°C and 400°C, respectively. In addition, Tg of copolymers of AAINC with N-(p-tolyl)acrylamide increased as the INC content increased. It was found that the HOMO, LUMO levels and the energy gap of AAINC and polymers showed the similar values as those of INC, and the UV-Vis absorption and fluorescence spectra of these polymers were also similar to the tendency of photonic property of INC. Furthermore, the fluorescence intensity of these polymers was higher than that of the monomer, AAINC. Especially, the copolymer having 5% INC content showed the higher fluorescence intensity than the copolymers having the higher INC content.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
