Abstract
Conjugated polymer nanoparticles are interesting nanomaterials with synthesis- and process-tunable optical properties that underpin applications in biology, catalysis, and the use of colloidal NP inks in flexible photovoltaic devices. Given the technological value of manipulation of polymer chain conformation and packing in (opto-) electronic devices, a question arises as to the extent of polymer chain ordering that may exist (and be monitored or controlled) within these fundamental building blocks. To address this challenge, we employ combined synthesis and optical spectroscopy methods to study the internal structure of polyfluorene nanoparticles in aqueous dispersions and establish useful structure-property relationships.
