Add to ORKG[[abstract]]A series of novel triphenylamine-based polymers were synthesized from benzaldehyde and triphenylamine derivatives. All the polymers having high molecular weight are readily soluble in many organic solvents and could be solution-cast into amorphous films. They had glass transition temperatures (T(g)s) in the range of 193-217 degrees C, and 10% weight loss temperatures in excess of 475 degrees C. Cyclic voltammograms of all polymers showed reversible oxidation redox peaks and E(onset) around 0.42-0.90 V, indicating that the polymers are electrochemically active and stable. In addition, all these polymers revealed photochemical characteristics in conformity with their electrochromic characteristics. (C) 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc....
