Synthesis and Characterization of New Electroactive Polymers

  • Published:
MRS Online Proceedings Library Aims and scope

Abstract

A general scheme for the preparation of soluble electroactive polymers is reviewed with emphasis that polymers so prepared permit investigation of the effects of π-electron delocalization and lattice charge upon nonlinear optical activity. Particular attention is focused upon six membered ring polymer derivatized in 1,4 positions with vinylamine substituents. Such substituents influence rates of polymerization reactions and electronic properties as well as solubility. Preliminary measurement of χ(3) for as-synthesized polymers is effected by DFWM.
