Abstract
Polyaniline in its many forms has potential optical data storage possibilities along with its known electrical properties. Here we discuss the role which mechanical motions of the polymer chain play in the délocalisation of electrons on the backbone, and the consequences this has on the optical properties of the polymer.Keywords
