ABSTRACTConjugated polymers have been used as solid-state materials for a variety of opto-electronic applications. Thus, their processability in a number of device fabrication protocols is an important consideration. In this report, we indicate our results on the synthesis of conjugated poly-p-phenylene (PPP) materials derived from poly(1,3-cyclohexadiene) (PCHD). The precursor PCHD polymers were synthesized by living anionic polymerization to produce homo-and block copolymer configurations with polystyrene. We have used a variety of initiators, solvent, and temperature conditions to determine the right parameters for obtaining narrow MWD polymers. The conditions for polymerization determined the ratio of 1,2 and 1,4 isomers in the microstructure. We then proceeded with conversion to PPP derivatives using a dehydrogenation reaction with chloranil. Our results indicate a systematic conversion to a conjugated polymer with increased solubility and photoluminescence properties. The microstructure, MW and block copolymer composition affecting the processability and conversion properties dramatically.

ABSTRACTHomopolymer and block copolymer brushes grafted from Au and Si (SiOx) surfaces via living anionic surface initiated polymerization (LASIP) has been reported. 1,1-diphenylethylene (DPE) derivative, an initiator for anionic polymerization, was grafted onto planar Si-wafer and Au surfaces by self-assembled monolayer (SAM) techniques. n-BuLi was used to activate the DPE for anionic polymerization of monomers at the interface under high vacuum. By a careful sequence of monomer introduction, reaction, and termination, homopolymer and block copolymer tethered polymer brushes were obtained. The importance of initiator activation, control of polymerization conditions, and removal of excess BuLi is emphasized. Interesting differences in morphology, thickness, grafting density, and polymerization conditions contrasts LASIP from solution and other surface initiated polymerization (SIP) mechanisms. The formation of block copolymer sequences highlights the unique utility of a living anionic polymerization technique on surfaces.
