Özet

In this study, the polymers were synthesized ether bridged containing carbazole moieties via HBr elimination. Also, these polymers include the aliphatic chains at the different lengths and aromatic groups in their structures. However, the polymers were characterized by FT-IR, NMR and UV-vis spectroscopy, and their thermal stabilities were determined via TGA measurements. Fluorescence measurements were performed using N,N'-dimethyl formamide solutions and also, the optimization of the concentrations to obtain maximal emission intensity was investigated in N,N'-dimethyl formamide. The morphologic properties of the polymers were investigated at different particle sizes by using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Additionally, the number average molecular weight (M-n), weight average molecular weight (M-w) and polydispersity index (PDI) values of the polymers were determined by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) technique. Resultantly, the remarkable properties related to the fluorescence and thermal measurements of the polymers were obtained. Therefore, these polymers could be used in various application fields because of the fluorescent and thermal properties. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
