Preferred Label : electroluminescent polymer;
IUPAC definition : Polymeric material that shows luminescence when an electric current passes through
it such that charge carriers can combine at luminescent sites to give rise to electronically
excited states of luminescent groups or molecules.;
Scope note : electrogenerated chemiluminescence directly connected with electrode reactions may
also be called electroluminescence.; electroluminescent polymers are often made by incorporating luminescent groups or
dyes into conducting polymers.;
Origin ID : ET07171;
