Emission from silica hybrid containing RGB fluorescent conjugated polymers
Red, green and blue fluorescent poly(arylene vinylene)s were prepared by Wittig reaction. Polycondensation of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) was carried out in the presence of a mixed solution of these polymers to give a silica hybrid in which RGB fluorescent polymers were immobilized without phase separation. White light emission was observed from the ternary polymer blend/silica hybrid.
