Abstract Substantial hole transport can be achieved in organic polymers simply by incorporating aromatic amine groups into the monomer. Hole mobilities similar to or greater than those in poly( N ‐vinyl‐carbazole) (PVK) were measured in a series of high molecular weight arylamine‐substituted polymethacrylates. The hole transport in these polymers is electric‐field‐dependent as in PVK, varying between E and E 2 within a range of 4 × 10 4 − ∼9 × 10 5 V/cm. The polymers also exhibit carrier generation in ultraviolet (UV) light in the range of absorption. Synthesis of the monomers, their polymerization, and the general properties of these polymers are discussed.
