El. Tassi et al., ELECTROCHEMICAL, ELECTROCHROMIC AND MECHANICAL-PROPERTIES OF THE GRAFT COPOLYMER OF POLY(ANILINE) AND NITRILIC RUBBER, Polymer, 35(3), 1994, pp. 565-572
The electroactivity and electrochromism of the graft copolymer of poly
(aniline) and nitrilic rubber were studied by cyclic voltammetry, freq
uency response analysis and spectroelectrochemistry in the visible ran
ge. The mechanical properties were determined by stress-strain measure
ments. Results indicate that the graft copolymer exhibits mechanical p
roperties similar to a crosslinked elastomer with the electrochromic a
nd electrochemical properties typical of oxidized poly(aniline).
