Electrochromic behaviors of PU (M1)-b thin film (in CH 3 CN with 0.1 M LiCO 4 as the supporting electrolyte) at 0.0 V to 1.40 V (insets are the pictures of oxidized PU (M1)-b). Abstract Two novel series of triphenylamine (TPA)-containing aromatic polyurethanes (PUs) were synthesized via polymerization of N', N'-bis (α-naphthyl)-N, N'-bis (4-phenylisocyanate) biphenyl (M1) and N, N'-diphenyl-N, N'-bis (4-phenylisocyanate) biphenyl (M2) with different dihydroxy compounds. The structures of the polymers were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared(FT-IR) spectroscopy, hydrogen nuclear magnetic resonance ( 1 H-NMR) and carbon nuclear magnetic resonance ( 13 C-NMR); and the thermostability and morphology were studied by 2 thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The molecular weights were measured to be from 1.02 × 10 4 to 1.31 × 10 4 by gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The polymers were coated onto indium tin oxide (ITO) and the electrochromic properties were investigated by using the ultraviolet visible (UV-vis) absorption spectra and cyclic voltammetry (CV). The energy gaps were in the range of 2.21-2.26 eV. The polymer films revealed good stability of the electrochromic characteristics by continuous cyclic scans, with a color changing from neutral yellowish to a blue doped form at applied potentials. Meanwhile, PUs film exhibited non-volatile write-once-read-many-times (WORM) memory behavior in the device resulting from the non-isolated donor-acceptor (D-A).
