ABSTRACT:
A variable-modulus material is composed of a polymer whose constituent unit is a thiophene or pyrrole molecule having from one to three C.sub.4-12 alkyl side chains, or a copolymer whose constituent unit is the thiophene or pyrrole molecule and which includes in a main chain thereof a conjugated compound with a K-electron bond directly bonded to the above molecule, and at least one additive (in an amount of 0.5-20 wt % of said polymer) selected from halogens, protonic acids, and transition metal halides. It greatly decreases in modulus upon application of an electric field as low as 5-150 V/mm and restores its original modulus upon removal of the electric field. It is suitable for use as vibration dampers and shock absorbers.
