We have devised the photocrosslinked films of diphenylfluorene and polysilanes blends on irradiation at 405 nm. Photo-decomposition of Si-Si bonds of polysilanes was successfully suppressed during irradiation of the visible light. The photocrosslinking properties were strongly affected by PEB conditions and irradiation dose. The sensitivity of PMPS/BCAFG blended film was superior to that of hb-PPS/BCAFG blended one. The photocrosslinking was mainly due to the acid-catalyzed polymerization of the epoxy moieties of BCAFG. PMPS and hb-PPS moieties were incorporated with the film by the termination reaction of the polymerization with the terminal OH groups.
