摘要

Abstract

A type of novel electrospun supramolecular hybrid microfibers comprising poly(9-(4-(octyloxy)-phenyl)-2

7-fluoren-9-ol) (PPFOH) and poly(

-vinylcarbazole) (PVK) are successfully prepared for intriguing multi-color emission properties. The supramolecular tunable PPFOH aggregation in PVK matrix endows the complex with a smart energy transfer behavior to obtain the multi-color emissions. In stark contrast to PVK fibers

the emission color of PPFOH/PVK fibers with an efficient dispersion of PPFOH fluorophores at a proper dope ratio can be tuned in a wide spectrum of blue (0.1%)

sky blue (0.5%)

nearly white (1%)

cyan (2%)

green (5%) and yellow (10%). Besides

conductive behaviors of the microfiber were demonstrated in accompany with the increment of the doping ratio of PPFOH to PVK. Successful fabrication of polymer light-emitting diode (PLED) based on the blended electrospun fiber provided a further evidence of its excellent electrical property for potential applications in optoelectronic devices.
