Metallophthalocyanine polymers have also been incorporated into polyaniline by both chemical and electrochemical methods and have been evaluated for battery applications [170]. The nature of the matrix polymer used for the incorporation is found to play an important role in the cyclic stability of the incorporated... 

Metallophthalocyanine polymers offer good stability in thermal, chemical, hydrolytic and photochemical environments. The reversible redox property and cycle stability of phthalocyanine compounds and their polymers make them useful as active components in sensors, switches, diodes, memory devices, NLO materials, etc. different types of phthalocyanine polymers are available and they are amenable to chemical modifications to suit the devices requirements. It is possible to exercise chemical control of the properties of the phthalocyanine polymers as well as functionalize other conducting polymers with the characteristics of phthalocyanines. Hence phthalocyanine polymers have become potential candidates for producing useful and viable materials for electronic, optoelectronic and molecular electronic applications.
