Polymeric fluorescence quenching compounds and their use

摘要

This invention relates to homopolyester compositions having fluorescence quenchers polymerized therein ("poly quenchers"). Specifically the "poly quencher" polymeric compositions comprises repeating units from (a) a dicarboxylic acid component and (b) a diol component, wherein at least one of (a) and (b) is comprised of at least one fluorescence polyquencher capable of reducing fluorescence of a polymer below the fluorescence displayed when said polyquencher is not included.
