ELECTROCHROMIC DEVICES WITH A POLYMERIC-TAMOL BASE AND METHOD FOR OBTAINING THE SAME

The present invention refers to the development and obtention of novel electrochromic devices of variable transmission resulting from electronic conductive polymers and ions (polyelectrolytes) confined in a multilayer structure. These devices are able to modulate the light that passes therethrough by means of an oxide-reduction process and electron transference, which allow the transmittance level to be controlled as well as the change of colour in the material depending on the applied potential. The purpose of the invention is to create multilayer structures of 5 to 7 layers, which comprise a polymer layer of a transparent substrate, such as polymethacrylate, polystyrene, polycarbonate, Polyethylene terephthalate and polyolefins, a layer of an electric conductive polymer (polypirrol, polyethylene dioxythiophene (PEDOT), polyaniline (PAN), polypirrol (PPY)) chemically modified with TAMOL for strengthening the electrochromic effect, an electrolyte and/or polyelectrolyte of electrochrom ic polymeric origin (PEDOT, PANI, POLYPIRROL) and another layer of transparent substrate, so that the device of 5 layers of conductive polymer acting as an electrochromic material and as a ion collector. In addition, the invention comprises the obtention process of each element of the device, as well as the final product obtained from said device.
