Abstract: Increase of photoluminescence (PL) from fullerenes (C60 and C70)-doped poly(alkyl methacrylate), such as poly(ethyl methacrylate) (PEMA), poly(isopropyl methacrylate) (PiPMA) and poly(isobutyl methacrylate) (PiBMA), have been studied under laser irradiation with wavelength of 488 nm in air. After laser irradiation, PL peaks of all fullerenes doped-polymers are broadened and blue-shifted. This PL increase depends on the fullerene concentrations. By comparing with fullerenes-doped PMMA, fullerenes-doped PEMA have the greatest PL increase among the four kinds of polymers, including PEMA, PiPMA, PiBMA and PMMA. PL intensity of C70-doped polymers increases much more quickly than the corresponded C60-doped polymers at the initial stage of laser irradiation. Great change on their UV-visible absorption spectra before and after laser irradiation indicate some great variation on chemical structure of fullerene molecules dispersed in polymer matrix under laser irradiation. This great PL increase may be attributed to formation of fullerene oxide-polymer and oxidized fullerene-polymer adducts due to laser-induced photochemical reactions among fullerene, oxygen and polymer.

Abstract:Increase of photoluminescence (PL) from fullerenes (<f>C60</f> and <f>C70</f>)-doped poly(alkyl methacrylate), such as poly(ethyl methacrylate) (PEMA), poly(isopropyl methacrylate) (PiPMA) and poly(isobutyl methacrylate) (PiBMA), have been studied under laser irradiation with wavelength of <f>488 nm</f> in air. After laser irradiation, PL peaks of all fullerenes doped-polymers are broadened and blue-shifted. This PL increase depends on the fullerene concentrations. By comparing with fullerenes-doped PMMA, fullerenes-doped PEMA have the greatest PL increase among the four kinds of polymers, including PEMA, PiPMA, PiBMA and PMMA. PL intensity of <f>C70</f>-doped polymers increases much more quickly than the corresponded <f>C60</f>-doped polymers at the initial stage of laser irradiation. Great change on their UV-visible absorption spectra before and after laser irradiation indicate some great variation on chemical structure of fullerene molecules dispersed in polymer matrix under laser irradiation.
