Abstract
An electrochromic film of polyaniline was electropoly merized from an acidic aqueous solution on a fluorine-doped, Sn02-coated glass precoated with an aniline derivative of a silane compound. The silane layer acted as a coupling agent to improve the surface adhesion of the electrochromic polyaniline film. The silanized polyaniline was found to possess good electrochromic properties, becoming blue upon electrochemical oxidation and near transparent upon reduction. The aging characteristics of the polyaniline film were found to be improved upon silanization.
