To investigate the effect of fluoro groups substitution on poly(p-phenylenevinylene) derivatives, poly(2,3,5,6- tetrafluoro-p-phenylenevinylene-alt-N-ethylhexyl-3,6-carbazolevinylene), PCTF-PPV, and poly[2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-p-phenylenevinylene-alt-2-methoxy-5-(2-ethylhexyloxy)-p-phenylenevinylene], PMTF-PPV, were synthesized by the well-known Wittig condensation polymerization process. To compare the influences of fluoro groups, no fluoro groups containing model polymers, poly(p-phenylenevinylene-alt-N-ethylhexyl-3,6-carbazolevinylene), PCPPPV and poly[p-phenylenevinylene-alt-2-methoxy-5-(2-ethylhexyloxy)-p-phenylenevinylene], p-PMEH-PPV, were also synthesized. The resulting polymers were completely soluble in common organic solvents and exhibited good thermal stability up to 300℃. The polymers showed UV-visible absorbance and photoluminescence (PL) in the ranges of 259~452 nm and 500~580 nm, respectively. The tetrafluorophenyl containing PCTF-PPV and PMTF-PPV showed relatively red-shifted PL peaks at 521 nm and 580 nm, respectively, compared to that of non-fluoro groups containing polymers (PCP-PPV: 500 nm and p-PMEH-PPV: 539 nm). The single-layer light-emitting diode was fabricated in a configuration of ITO/polymer/Al. Electroluminescene (EL) emissions of PCP-PPV, PCTF-PPV, p-PMEH-PPV and PMTF-PPV were shown at 507, 524, 556, and 616 nm, respectively.

ο-(2-Vinyloxyethoxy)benzylidenemalononitrile (3a) and methyl ο-(2-vinyloxyethoxy)-benzylidenecyanoacetate (3b), m-(2-vinyloxyethoxy)benzylidenemalononitrile (4a), and methyl m-(2-vinyloxyethoxy)benzylidenecyanoacetate (4b) were prepared by the condensation of ο-(2-vinyloxyethoxy)benzaldehyde (1) and m-(2-vinyloxyethoxy)benzaldehyde (2) with malononitrile or methyl cyanoacetate, respectively. Bifunctional vinyl ether monomers 3a and 3b polymerized quantitatively with radical initiators in γ-butyrolactone solution at 65 ℃, while meta-isomers 4a and 4b gave lower yields of polymers under the same conditions. The polymers 5-6 obtained from the monomers 3-4 were insoluble in common solvents due to cross-linking. Under the same polymerization conditions ethyl vinyl ether polymerized well with model compounds ο-methoxybenzylidenemalononitrile 7a, methyl ο-methoxybenzylidenecyanoacetate 7b, m-methoxybenzylidenemalononitrile 8a, and methyl m-methoxybenzylidenecyanoacetate 8b, respectively, to give 1:1 alternating copolymers 9-10 in high yields. Cross-linked polymers 5-6 showed a thermal stability up to 300 ℃, and showed a double phase degradation pattern in their TGA thermograms. Polymers 5-6 showed broad endothermic bands around 75-110 ℃ without any characteristic Tg peaks in DSC thermograms. Alternating copolymers 9-10, except copolymer 9b were soluble in common organic solvents. The inherent viscosities of polymer 9-10 were in the range of 0.35-0.62 dL/g. Polymer films cast from acetone solution were cloudy and tough and Tg values obtained from DSC thermograms were in the range of 118-165 ℃.

The wavelength dispersion of birefringence (or retardation) is very important property for optical use of polymer films. Birefringence free film and retardation film have been widely used for applications such as liquid crystal display (LCD). In this study, miscible polymer blends which consist of polymers of positive and negative birefringence were found. By operating composition and orientation of molecules in the transparent blend films, the behavior of wavelength dispersion of birefringence (retardation) was controlled. The applicability to wideband birefringence free film and quarter wave (retardation) film was discussed.

New inverted architecture of a hybrid inorganic-organic light-emitting diode, utilizing ZrO2 electron-injecting layer, is presented. The thickness of the ZrO2, as well as the annealing of the light-emitting polymer, is found critical to obtain good performance. A range of light-emitting polymers is shown to operate efficiently in the proposed architecture.

Hydrolyzable organic esters were compared with ammonium sulphate as an acid donor for the pH control in dye-bath-reuse system of acid dyes mixtures. The ability of pH control, levelness, dyeing properties and reproducibility in dye-bath-reuse system were investigated comparatively. Hydrolyzable organic esters showed higher exhaustion and color yield than ammonium sulphate. In addition, hydrolyzable organic ester exhibited very low conductivity less than 0.5 mS, while ammonium sulphate give high conductivity. However, we could not observe any difference in levelness of dyed samples between two kinds of acid donors in laboratory scale dyeing. Over 10 cycles of reuse, hydrolyzable organic esters showed higher reproducibility than ammonium sulphate. No deterioration of the color fastness and levelness occurs over 10 cycles of reuse.

Organic solar cells have attracted extensive attention as a promising approach for cost-effective photovoltaic devices. However, organic solar cell has disadvantage of low power conversion efficiency in comparison with other type of solar cell, due to the recombination ratio of hole and electron is too large in the active layer. Thus we have change the surface structure of PEDOT:PSS layers to improve the current density by colloidal lithography method using various-size of polystyrene sphere. The two types of coating method were applied to fabricate the different pattern shape and height, such as spin coating and drop casting. Using the organic solvent, we easily eliminate the PS sphere and could make the varied pattern shapes by controlling the wet etching time. Also we have measured the electrical properties of patterned PEDOT:PSS film to check whether it is suitable for organic photovoltaics.

Considerable progress has been made in organic photorefractive materials, since the first observation of photorefractive phenomena from organic materials. Within recent years, a large number of organic photorefractive materials, especially amorphous materials. have been developed based on polymeric composites, fully functional polymers and the multifunctional chromophore approach. Among these organic photorefractive materials, some of them containing carbazole components as a charge transporting function have been demonstrated to exhibit high performance photorefractive effects. The carbazole building blocks with charge transporting functionality or multifunctions play a very important role in photorefraction and have been widely used in the molecular design approach to new organic photo- refractive materials.
