Abstract

ABSTRACT: In this paper we report the synthesis of a new polyacrylate named poly(1, 1ʹ-BP4MA) which is a derivate from 4-biphenylmethanol monomer. Poly(1, 1ʹ-BP4MA) was obtained by solution and bulk polymerization techniques to yield polymers with high molecular weight and high solubility. The study of the optical properties showed that poly(1, 1ʹ-BP4MA) is a fluorescent material with emission in the UV-green region and it has similar quantum yield to tryptophan.
