✦ Synopsis

Electrochemical deposition of the polymer layers was carried out using an EG&G Model 273A potentiostat/galvanostat. A three electrode cell with Ag/ Ag + as the reference, gold coated Mylar as the working, and platinum flag as the counter electrode was used for electrosynthesizing the polymer films.

The reflectance of the sandwich structure was measured over the IR and visible regions using a Bruker 113v Fourier transform IR (FTIR) spectrometer and a Zeiss MPM 800 microscope photometer. In the mid-IR we used a ZnSe window over the polymer and the device was enclosed in a sealed cell to isolate it from the atmosphere. A glass window was used in the visible and near infrared region. Electrical leads attached to the electrodes allowed the polymer to be oxidized and reduced in situ.
