Abstract: | Electroactive polyamides containing dense oligoaniline functionalizations (PAs) were synthesized via oxidative coupling polymerization followed by postpolymerization functionalization, and exhibit excellent solubility, good thermal stability and reversible electroactivity. Interesting spectroscopic changes that occurred through chemical oxidation have been shown, which demonstrate the potential of PAs as an electrochromic material. As a result, the electrochromic behaviors of PAs were investigated in detail, exhibiting high contrast value, moderate switching time, and satisfactory coloration efficiency. Tunable conductive and dielectric properties have also been accomplished by varying the incorporation of oligoaniline segments. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part A: Polym.
