Novel electrochromic polynorbornenes poly(NBPYTPAM) and poly(HNBPYTPAM), containing electroactive chromophores, were prepared via ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) from a new norbornene derivative (NBPYTPAM) using Grubbs' catalyst and followed by hydrogen reduction. The glass transition temperatures (T(g)) of poly(NBPYTPAM) and hydrogenated poly(HNBPYTPAM) were 190 and 175 degrees C, respectively. The cyclic voltammogram of the poly(HNBPYTPAM) film cast onto flexible graphene-coated polyethylene terephthalene (PET) substrates exhibited two reversible oxidation redox couples at 1.0 and 1.9 V. Flexible electrochromic devices were fabricated from the electroactive polymers and graphene-coated PET substrates. The electrochromic characteristics of poly(HNBPYTPAM) showed excellent stability and reversibility, with multistaged color changes from its yellow neutral form to green and then to dark-blue.
