This work focuses on the synthesis of new fluoroaromatic ether polymers possessing triarylamine core. The nitrogen serving as a bridge between three aromatic rings is the first of such nucleophilic addition polymerization with fluoroarylene vinylene ethers (FAVE). Structural analysis of the polymer was determined by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, 19F NMR and molecular weight determination was performed by GPC. The polymer emits an intense blue color at 380 nm upon UV irradiation, making it an interesting material for electroluminescent applications. The designed poly is robust and thermally stable, and therefore competitively suitable for a variety of optical applications. Other interesting properties of the polymer include telechelicity, and the ability to functionalize the polymer backbone into tunable modulators.
