Side-chain engineering of green color electrochromic polymer materials: toward adaptive camouflage application

Abstract

The syntheses of adaptive camouflage devices based on novel side-chain engineered organic electrochromic materials have been demonstrated. Herein we report a molecule engineering approach for the tuning and syntheses of green-brown switchable electrochromic materials and also demonstrate their applications in chameleonic fabric devices. We have also successfully demonstrated the fabrication of chameleonic fabric devices.
