This paper describes the preparation of various polymers with triarylamine side groups. High molecular weight materials were obtained by free radical polymerization utilizing the gel effect. Polymers with a marrow polydispersity and a predetermined molecular weight could be prepared by living radical polymerization. The T g could, thereby, be controlled between 50 and 140°C either by using different monomers or by varying the molecular weight. Living radical polymerization allowed in addition the preparation of block copolymers. The triarylamine side groups could be transformed into NLO-chromophores by reaction with tetracyanoethylene. This leads to the incorporation of tricyanoethylene. This leads to be incorporation of tricyanoethylene acceptor groups. As this reaction can be performed selectively on one block in block copolymers, microphase separated structures are accessible, which possess charge transport moieties in one phase and NLO-chromophores in the other phase.
