Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we succeeded in synthesizing structurally isolated conjugated polymers. These new polymers were found to have high fluorescence quantum yields owing to the suppression of non-radiative decay processes of the excited states by the isolation. In addition, we found that these polymers are unique in terms of blendability and mechanical properties. Taking these unique advantages, we have further explored the potential application of these polymers in light emitting devices such as organic light emitting diodes.
