Abstract
Recently, new conjugated polymers of the poly(phthalidylidenarylene)s class have been synthesized. They consist of functional units sensitiv e to a number of external influences, such as temperature, pressure, e lectric field, pH-medium, etc. These influences cause an insulator-met al transition in the polymer film. As a result, the film resistance ch anges by 10-12 orders of magnitude. In addition, the films display ele ctroluminescence. These phenomena open broad prospects for the applica tion of these polymers in a variety of industrial products.
