The structural and photophysical characterization proved the incorporation of the coumarin monomers into the polymeric chain and further showed a decrease in the fluorescence quantum yields in the co-oligomers.7152707engFluorescent polymersOligomersVinylcoumarinsGeneral ChemistryPolymers and Plasticsjournal article10.3390/polym10040396https://www.scopus.com/pages/publications/85045051411
