Electrochromism, electrically active polymers

SESHADRI, V., PADILLA, J., BIRCAN, H., RADMARD, B., DRAPER, R., et al., Optimization, preparation, and electrical short evaluation for 30 cm active area dual conjugated polymer electrochromic windows. Organic Electronics, 2007, 8,367-81. 

Conducting polymers such as polyacetylene, polypyrrole, polyaniline, polythiophene, etc. have been actively studied for use in various fields due to their interesting properties batteries,46 electrochromic displays,47 materials for supercapacitors,48 corrosion protection,49 protecting layers for static electricity,50 materials for organic electroluminescence displays,51 sensing materials,52 etc. Polypyrrole is reported to be extremely rigid, with a semi-crystalline structure. 

Another attractive method to prepare SHG-active materials is by using electric field-poling polymers. The principle of electric-field-induced poling of molecular dipoles was first described by Haviga and Van Pelt in 1979 [58], who studied electrochromic effects in polymers doped with UV-...
