Observation of the β-phase in two short-chain oligofluorenes (2008)
Journal Article
Tsoi, W. C., Charas, A., Cadby, A. J., Khalil, G., Adawi, A. M., Iraqi, A., Hunt, B., Morgado, J., & Lidzey, D. G. (2008). Observation of the β-phase in two short-chain oligofluorenes. Advanced Functional Materials, 18(4), 600-606. https://doi.org/10.1002/adfm.200700530

The polymer poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene) (PF8) can be driven into a morphological form termed the β-phase that has enhanced planarity and increased structural rigidity. We show that the β-phase can be generated in two different fluorene oligomers; a flu... Read More about Observation of the β-phase in two short-chain oligofluorenes.
