Poly(6-tert-butyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,3-benzoxazine) was synthesized by
thermally activated cationic ring opening polymerization. The structure of the
polymer was confirmed by spectral and thermal studies. The highest occupied
molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) were
estimated using cyclic voltammetry and optical absorption. Modulated photocurrent
measurement technique was employed to study the spectral and field dependence of
photocurrent. Photocurrent of the order of 1.5 micro A/m2 was obtained for polymer at a
biasing electric field of 40 V/mico m.
