| Abstract: | The copolymerization of six 4-aminosubstituted-1,8-naphthalimide dyes comprising an allylic polymerizable group with methylmethacrylate has been investigated. The utility of the copolymers prepared as fluorescent component in polymer/liquid crystal systems has been examined. The photophysical and photochemical properties of the systems monomeric dye/liquid crystal and copolymer/liquid crystal have been also discussed. It has been shown that in a liquid crystal mixture 1,8-naphthalimide dyes and respective copolymer/liquid crystals have yellow–green fluorescent color with good photostability.
