Polymer electrochromism has been considered one of the liveliest branches of conducting polymer research, a tradition continued in the last decade. We have witnessed numerous significant advances, making commercial applications closer than ever. This feature article highlights these advances by separating them into 3 sections. The material design section emphasizes the new molecular structures that have been utilized as electrochromic materials and their promising results. The color control of polymeric electrochromics section focuses on the recent achievements towards realization of full color electrochromic display devices, lastly the advances en route commercial applications section demonstrates how some of the major drawbacks towards commercialization have been successfully addressed.

Solid State Synthesis and Characterization of Some Novel Sodium Rare Earth Phosphates Seyyidoglu, Semih; Özenbaş, Ahmet Macit; Kizilyalli, Meral; Yılmaz, Ayşen (2005-01-01) Recently, much attention has been paid to the rare earth phosphates because of their potential applications for optical materials, including laser, phosphors, and more recently, anti-UV materials [1]. MOPO4 type materials possess properties that make them potentially useful for catalytic, electronic and ion exchange applications[2]. In this work, Ln2O3 (where Ln= La, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Dy, Ho, Er, Yb) were used as a rare earth source, NH4H2PO4 was used as a phosphate source and Na2CO3 was used as a sodium sour...
Properties and characterization of aluminum hydroxide and barium sulfate filled polypropylene copolymer Can, Semra; Tinçer, Teoman; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2003) Flammability of polymers has been receiving much attention with the advancements in the modern polymer industry. The addition of flame retardant fillers to the polymer matrix is a common method to control the flammability of polymers. Different types of additives are employed as flame retardants namely; compounds based on halogens (CI and Br), nitrogen, organophosphorus and inorganics. Among them, Al(OH)3 functions as effective smoke suppressant in addition to reducing polymer burning rate. The objective of...
Electrochemical polymerization of 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-2,5-di(2-thienyl)-1 H-pyrrole as a novel immobilization platform for microbial sensing Tuncagil, Sevinc; ODACI DEMİRKOL, DİLEK; Varis, Serhat; TİMUR, SUNA; Toppare, Levent Kamil (2009-09-01) Two types of bacterial biosensor were constructed by immobilization of Gluconobacter oxydans and Pseudomonas fluorescens cells on graphite electrodes modified with the conducting polymer; poly(1-(4-nitrophenyl)-2,5-di(2-thienyl)-1 H-pyrrole) [SNS(NO2)]. The measurement was based on the respiratory activity of cells estimated by the oxygen consumption at -0.7 V due to the metabolic activity in the presence of substrate. As well as analytical characterization, the linear detection ranges, effects of electropo...
Electrochromism in multichromic conjugated polymers: Thiophene and azobenzene derivatives on the main chain Apaydin, Dogukan Hazar; Akpinar, Hava; Sendur, Merve; Toppare, Levent Kamil (2012-01-15) Novel donor-acceptor-donor type polymers containing azobenzene group in polymer backbone chains were synthesized and their electrochromic properties were investigated. To increase the strength of the acceptor unit, fluorinated azobenzene containing donor-acceptor-donor type polymer was also synthesized. Cyclic voltammetry and spectroelectrochemistry studies showed that poly((E)-1,2-bis(4-(4-hexylthiophen-2-yl)phenyl)diazene) (P2) and poly((E)-1,2-bis(2-fluoro-4-(4-hexylthiophen-2-yl)phenyl) diazene) (P3) we...
Electrochromic properties of multicolored novel polymer synthesized via combination of benzotriazole and N-functionalized 2,5-di(2-thienyl)-1H-pyrrole units Rende, Eda; Kilic, Cihan E.; Udum, Yasemin Arslan; Toffoli, Daniele; Toppare, Levent Kamil (2014-08-20) Synthesis of new conducting polymers is desired since their electrochemical and optical properties enable them to be used as active layers in many device applications. Benzotriazole and N-functionalized 2,5-di(2-thienyl)-1H-pyrrole (SNS Series) containing polymers showed very promising results as electrochromic materials. In order to observe the effect of the combination of these two units, three new monomers; 2-(6-(2,5-bis(5-methylthiophen-2-yl)-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)hexyl)-4,7-di(thiophen-2-yl)-2H benzo[d][1,2,3...
