By introducing 1,8‐diiodooctane (DIO) into solutions used to spin cast poly(9,9‐di‐ n ‐octylfluorene) films, the β ‐phase content can be tailored between 0 and 45%. The absorption of films cast from o ‐xylene containing between 0 and 16% DIO by volume is shown at left. In turn, this morphological change can lead to a ca. 50% increase in the efficiency of polymer light emitting diodes.
