Poly-β-hydroxybutyrate sensitizing effect on the photophysical properties of environment friendly fluorescent films containing europium complex

“…So it has always been a challenging task to synthesize lanthanide complexes with excellent luminescent properties that will also be thermodynamically stable and compatible with advanced microelectronic technologies for thin film production. The growing importance of polymer films in integrated optic technology makes it interesting to investigate the incorporation of lanthanide complexes in a polymer matrix [6][7][8]. Although there have been several works reported on photoluminescence properties of polymer systems doped with lanthanide ions complexes [9][10][11][12], studies on luminescent and thermal properties of systems containing poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) polymer doped with rare earth complexes are relatively limited [13,14].…”

A series of highly quantum efficiency PMMA luminescent films doped with Eu-complex as promising light-conversion molecular devices

“…Another parallel challenge is that most of these compounds are usually achieved as hydrates, consequently the luminescence intensity is suppressed due to the activation of non-radiative channels [11][12][13][14]. In order to overcome simultaneously these deficiencies and improve the characteristics of quantum efficiencies and lifetimes, Eu-complexes have been incorporated into polymers matrix, liquid crystals and sol-gel derived organic-inorganic hybrids [15][16][17]. Polymer matrixes offer several advantages for the development of materials, e.g., Electronic supplementary material The online version of this article (doi:10.1007/s10854-016-5251-5) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.…”

Sensitization of LnIII (Ln = Eu, Tb, Tm) Ion Luminescence by Functionalized Polycarbonate‐Based Materials and White Light Generation

“…However, their emission bands are still broadened (FWHM = 100 nm), therefore also showing poor color purity. [4] Lanthanide, Ln III , ions are emissive with high color purity due to narrow emission bands (FWHM = 5-10 nm), a result of the core nature of the 4f orbitals, which are shielded from the ligand environment by the filled 5s and 5p orbitals. [5][6][7] The long luminescence lifetimes (μs to ms) of the Ln III ions are a result of the parity forbidden nature of the f-f transitions.…”

“…PC-based materials offer a low-cost and large-scale fabrication of display devices due to their high solution processability. [4,25] In addition, functionalized PCs can be easily synthesized via ring opening polymerization (ROP) of cyclic carbonate derivatives using organometallic or organic catalysts. [26] Organic catalysts such as thiourea/amine derivatives, are highly selective and lead to polymers of narrow polydispersity indices (PDIs).…”
