Abstract

Poly[(1-(9-carbazolyl)ethylene)-co-(3-cinnamoyloxyoctyl-9-carbazolyl)] ethylene (PVK-Cin) was prepared by tethering cinnamate pendants to a carbazole group via an octylene spacer. The photopatternability of the new PVK based-polymer was investigated using a photocrosslinking reaction under UV light illumination (λ = 254 nm). Blends of the PVK-Cin and a soluble poly(phenylene vinylene) (CzEh-PPV) were employed to study the photocrosslinking behavior. Well resolved lithographic patterns were observed in these polymer systems. PVK-Cin produced a blue light emitting pattern both before and after the photocrosslinking reaction. The blends of PVK-Cin and CzEh-PPV also showed corresponding emissions at 398 and 525 (560) nm in the film state.
