We report on the photophysical properties of a dioctyl substituted polyfluorene, with a focus on the effects of intermolecular interactions on absorption and emission spectra. We discuss these results in context of the strong current interest in the nature of aggregation phenomena and their role in controlling the emissive properties of conjugated polymers.
