The invention relates to poly(phenylene vinylene) polymers substituted with dendritic sidechains to enhance main-chain separation in the solid state. The polymers are synthesized by the Heck polymerization and have a weight-average molecular weight of 20,000 to 60,000 Daltons. The polymers are self-ordering...http://www.google.com.au/patents/US6582755?utm_source=gb-gplus-sharePatent US6582755 - Polarizable photoactive and electroactive polymers and light emitting devices
