Polymers for use in optical devices
First Claim
1. A process for the production of an optical device, which process comprises providing a luminescent film-forming solvent processable polymer and cross-linking the solvent processable polymer under conditions so as to increase its molar mass whereby the polymer is made resistant to solvent dissolution and retains its semiconductive and luminescent properties.

Abstract
Optical devices fabricated from solvent processible polymers suffer from susceptibility to solvents and morphological changes. A semiconductive polymer capable of luminescence in an optical device is provided. The polymer comprises a luminescent film-forming solvent processible polymer which contains cross-linking so as to increase its molar mass and to resist solvent dissolution, the cross-linking being such that the polymer retains semiconductive and luminescent properties.
