The present invention provides a process for producing an electroactive substrate. The process includes providing a substrate having an oxidant layer on a surface thereof, exposing the surface containing the oxidant layer to a vapor containing an aryl or heteroaryl monomer that is polymerizable to form an electroactive polymer, and polymerizing the aryl or heteroaryl monomer in the presence of a volatile Lewis base to form a polyaryl or polyheteroaryl electroactive polymer film on the surface of the substrate. The invention also provides electroactive substrates formed by the process.

Processes for producing electrochromic substrates and electrochromic articles made therefrom

An electrochromic assemblyis disclosed. The assembly comprises: first and second electrodes, at least one electrode being transparent; a porous membranedefining a plurality of pores, the membrane having a first refractive index and located between the electrodes; an electrolyte filling the pores, the electrolyte having a second refractive index substantially matching the first refractive index, the electrolyte and membrane together forming a substantially transparent electrolytic layer; and at least one electrochromic layercovering at part of the first electrode. The membraneis flexible and the spacing between the electrodesis held substantially constant by the membrane. The membrane is sealed with sealant
