Popis: | application/pdf A new approach for the preparation of poly (para-phenylenevinylene) (PPV) with an ordered structure is presented. PPV is synthesized by a precursor method using a cholesteric liquid crystal medium. The resultant PPV film is observed to have a cholesteric fingerprint-like texture, indicating replication of the cholesteric liquid crystal medium. Infrared absorption measurements confirm that the PPV has essentially the same molecular structure as normal PPV film. Ultraviolet–visible absorption measurements show that the absorption band due to p2p* transition of the conjugated main-chain is located at 402 nm. The conversion is found to occur at the interface with the cholesteric liquid crystal medium as a mechanical process. |
