Abstract

Semi-conducting polymers contain sequences of delocalized -electrons along the polymer backbone that impart the unusual and useful properties of these materials. The energy transfer processes that occur in these materials following light absorption can be studied using single molecule fluorescence techniques that provide details about the photochemistry that occurs in individual polymer chains that make up a bulk sample. For conjugated polymers the information available includes fluorescence spectra and lifetimes, transition dipole orientation, exciton transport properties and charge transfer behaviour. In this presentation single molecule studies of several conjugated polymers including main-chain and side-chain phenylene vinylene (MEHPPV)-based polymers and fluorenyl donor-acceptor block copolymers (PFM-F8BT-PFM) will be presented. Our progress with the printing of polymer solar cells using conjugated polymers will also be outlined.
