Highly polarized emission from oriented films incorporating water-soluble conjugated polymers in a polyvinyl alcohol matrix.

Highly oriented luminescent films are produced by stretching a 30-μm-thick polyvinyl alcohol matrix doped with water-soluble polyrotaxanes and their unthreaded analogues. Photoluminescence experiments reveal that over 95% of the emitted light is polarized along the orientation direction. A hybrid or...
