A fluorene compound is provided, which is represented by the following Formula (I):
in Formula (1), R

21
and R
22
each independently represent an alkyl group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, or an alkoxy group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms; and n1 and n2 each independently represent an integer of from 1 to 5.
radically polymerized to form graftpolymethacrylates with the conducting PTTP segments as pendant side chains. Both the terminal alkyl side chain and spacer between the PTTP segments and polymer backbone could be varied to study fundamental structure–property relationships for this class of materials. Specifically, a group of three different PTTP graftpolymethacrylates has been successfully synthesized
