Appearance of Metallic Reflectance due to Conversion from Precursor Polymer to Poly(2,5-thienylenevinylene)

Abstract
The optical absorption and reflectance of poly(2,5-thienylenevinylene) and its precursor polymer thin films were measured. It was found that the optical properties drastically changed and metallic reflectance appeared during conversion from the precursor polymer to poly(2,5-thienylenevinylene).
