Fluorescence and Phosphorescence Spectroscopy in Polymer Systems: A General Introduction

  • Chapter
Photophysical and Photochemical Tools in Polymer Science

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 182))

Abstract

This chapter provides a general introduction to the techniques of fluorescence and phosphorescence spectroscopy. Emphasis is focussed on aspects particularly relevant to the study of polymer samples, both in solution and in the solid state. Techniques are discussed, as are common artifacts. We attempt to establish guidelines to show how various problems of current interest in polymer science might be studied by these luminescence techniques.
