The electrophoretic deposition of polystyrene/divinylbenzene (PS/DVB) star polymer-europium sulphide (EuS) nanocomposite films from a colloidal suspension is reported. Liquid suspension, containing both the PS/DVB star polymer and EuS nanocrystals were prepared by separately injecting dichloromethane (DCM) based solutions of EuS nanocrystals and of the star polymers, respectively, into a stratified liquid combination of hexane and DCM. Scanning electron microscopy illustrates images of the dependence of surface morphology on nanocrystal concentration of the PS/DVB-EuS star polymer film. These polymer-encased nanocrystal films may be a more practical option for the fabrication of magneto-optical thin film devices, such as optical switches, optical isolators, and optical memories.

AbstractA series of fluorescent carbazole-containing star polymers with different arms were successfully synthesized using 9-(4-vinylbenzyl)9H-carbazole (VBCz) as monomer and multifunctional bromide as initiators via atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). The effect of the poly(9-(4-vinylbenzyl)-9H-carbazole) (PVBCz) star polymer architecture on their optical and electrochemical properties was investigated. All of the PVBCz star polymers absorbed light in the range of 280–360 nm both in solution and as polymer films. Meanwhile, the star polymers exhibited maximum fluorescent emission at 350 nm in solution, while at 406 nm as films. Moreover, the star polymers with different arm numbers showed different photoluminescence quantum efficiency and highest and lowest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO, LOMO, respectively) energy levels. It is proved that the PVBCz star polymers exhibited different photoelectronic properties by varying the molecular architectures.
