Abstract

A polythiophene-doped polymethylacrylate which have absorbance in visible region was synthesized by plasma polymerization, and its fluorescence spectra was studied. The absorption peak was 440nm, the fluorescence emission of spectra was 570nm. The intensity of the fluorescence emission of the polymer was higher than that of the polymer synthesized by radical polymerization. It is reasonable to suppose that chemical reaction of plasma polymerization was mild compared with radical polymerization.
