On the road to commercially viable PLEDs to replace fluorescent and incandescent lighting, many hurdles have to be overcome. Still now, a major challenge posed by conjugated polymers is the fact of solubility and efficient fluorescent materials. We have developed the soluble polythiophene derivatives as well as high fluorescent materials to meet the requirement of PLED. A series of new ester substituted polythiophenes has been reported.The photoluminescence behaviours, quantum yield,the ox/reduction potential, band gap of the polymers have been studied. The polymers showed...
