Polymer containing groups that can be reversibly reduced or oxidized.
Notes: - Reversible redox reaction can take place in a polymer main-chain, as in the case of polyaniline and quinone/hydroquinone polymers, or on side-groups, as in the case of a polymer carrying ferrocene side-groups.
- Use of the term 'redox @RT07166@' is strongly discouraged.
