The objectives of this SERDP program (WP 1148) have been completed successfully. The synthesis, scale-up and characterization of new monomers based on a bis-amino derivative of poly-p-phenylene vinylene (PPV) called poly(2,5-bis(N-methyl-N-hexylamino)phenylene vinylene, (BAM-PPV) and oligomers of polyaniline have been completed. These polymers have been thoroughly characterized using advanced spectroscopic and analytical methods. The details regarding the EAP synthesis has been published in the literature for duplication including potential industrial use. ...
