  • Patent number: 9650450
    Abstract: The invention provides for a process for removing thiocarbonylthio groups from polymer prepared by RAFT polymerization, the process comprising: introducing into a flow reactor a solution comprising the RAFT polymer in solvent; and promoting a reaction within the flow reactor that removes the thiocarbonylthio groups so as to form a solution that flows out of the reactor comprising the RAFT polymer absent the thiocarbonylthio groups.

  • Patent number: 9410080
    Abstract: An electroluminescence device having an emission layer comprising a single organic compound layer between a cathode and an anode. The single layer may comprise an emitter component on a single polymer chain of covalently linked (co)-polymer sections Y1, optionally in combination with Y2, and/or Y3, or different polymer chains Y1, optionally in combination with Y2, and/or Y3 blended together. Each of the (co)-polymer contains a spacer unit and a carrier transporting component and optionally an emitter moiety.
