Preparation of a Polysilane-(1-Pyrene)Methyl Methacrylate Copolymer

We prepared polysilane–methacrylate copolymers using polysilane as the photoradical initiator. As polymerization is a radical reaction, chemical structures of arrangement block and methacrylate have not yet been clarified various analytical methods. In this study, polysilane–(1-pyrene)methyl were to examine their structure by photoluminescence measurements because pyrene units exhibit fluorescence. The fluorescence analysis revealed formation an excimer dimer. From results, it was found that close each other.
