The ethylene/norbornene content within cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) is well known to affect the chemical and physical properties of the copolymer, such as the glass transition temperature (Tg) and transparency.

Cyclic olefin copolymers comprise a new class of polymeric materials showing properties of high glass-transition temperature, optical clarity, low shrinkage, low moisture absorption, and low birefringence. There are several types of cyclic olefin copolymers based on different types of cyclic monomers and polymerization methods. In this work, we have analyzed the chemical structure of the currently commercialized cyclic olefin copolymers by 13C NMR, and investigated their glass-transition temperatures and surface characteristics. It was observed that the glass-transition temperature, Tg, of cyclic olefin copolymers depended on the bulkiness of the main chain, and the number of rings had an important role in increasing the bulkiness of cyclic olefin copolymers. Cyclic olefin copolymers with polar substituents such as ester or ether groups showed high surface energy per area and peel strength.

A novel series of copolymers containing fluorene units are synthesized by Sonogashira coupling reaction in mild condition. Benzene, naphthalene and anthracene are co-polymerized with ethynylfluorene, respectively. The structures are confirmed by NMR, Mass, Elemental analysis and GPC. The polymers have good thermal properties with glass-transition temperature of 90-155°C(Tg), and they have bandgaps from 2.21-2.77 eV. The results of photoluminescence in solid state show that introduction of huge chromophore could effectively suppress the formation of aggregates and excimers which typically cause red-shifted or new emission.
