Abstract:
1. An electrochromic fiber or fabric, comprising: a flexible, electrically conductive fiber, wherein the fiber comprises a non-electrically conductive organic polymer impregnated with an electrically conductive polymer to render the fiber electrically conductive; and; a layer comprising an electrochromic material disposed on and surrounding the flexible, electrically conductive fiber; wherein the electrically conductive polymer is PEDOT-PSS, poly(vinylpyridine), a poly(thiophene), a poly(pyrrole), a poly(aniline), a poly(acetylene), a poly(p-phenylenevinylene), a sulfonated polythieno[3,4-b]thiophene, polystyrenesulfonate, or a combination thereof.
