Solvatochromism polyanilines

The rationale for preparing this hybrid copolymer was to combine the desirable properties of polyaniline with those of polythiophene. For example, polythiophene has demonstrated thermo- and electrochromism, solvatochromism, luminescence, and photoconductivity while polyaniline has demonstrated reversible protonic dupability, excellent redox re-cyclability, and chemical stability.
