Abstract
This account provides a state of the art overview of polyfluorene structure and phase behaviour in solutions and the solid state. This review covers key aspects of the hierarchical intra- and intermolecular self-assembly starting at the molecular level and extentding up to larger length scale structures. This includes crystallization, alignment on surfaces and texture. Many Central ideas are highlighted via structural archetypes. Recent theoretical treatments for understanding these structural properties are discussed and the implications for opto-electronics and photophysics are described.
