Polyaniline in its many forms has potential optical data storage possi
bilities along with its known electrical properties. Here we discuss t
he role which mechanical motions of the polymer chain play in the delo
calisation of electrons on the backbone, and the consequences this has
on the optical properties of the polymer.
