Orange-red and white-emitting nonconventional luminescent polymers containing cyclic acid anhydride and lactam groups

Abstract

Nonconventional luminescent copolymers poly(itaconic anhydride-<italic>co</italic>-vinyl caprolactam) (PIVC) and poly(itaconic anhydride-<italic>co</italic>-vinyl pyrrolidone) (PIVP) emit strong orange-red and bright white emissions, respectively.
