Time-resolved emission microscopy of light-induced aggregation of luminescent polymers

Yang Xu, Jian Zhou and Trevor Smith

Photon pressure has been used induce the aggregation from solution of a series of photoluminescence conjugated polyelectrolytes containing tetraphenylethene units. These polymers show steady-state and time-resolved emission properties that are dependent on the local chromophore environment that can be influenced by the degree of intra- and inter- molecular interactions, which enables the photoaggregation process to be monitored by time-resolved fluorescence imaging techniques. Structural differences in the polymer lead to variations in the photo-induced aggregation behaviour.
