The fluorescence spectra of amorphous atactic, amorphous isotactic and crystallized isotactic polystyrene films have been compared. The effect of chain orientation has also been analysed on amorphous atactic samples. The results show that the fluorescence yield increases with crystallinity at room t

✦ Synopsis
A~raet--Polyvinylcarbazole (PVCa) films and solutions emit normal and excimer fluorescence between 77 and 425 K. The absolute (IM and Iv) and relative (I~/1o) intensities emitted strongly depend on temperature. The usual U-shaped curve is obtained for log IM/Io as a function of lIT in the case of polymer films. In solution, two minima corresponding to two different excimers are observed. The formation and dissociation of PVCa excimers in films and solutions have been interpreted according to the usual kinetic scheme. The binding energies for the excimer in films and for the high temperature excimer in solutions are respectively 4 and 2-8 kcal mole-1.
