Organic memories (non-optical) constitute an exception in the recent rapid growth of the literature related to organic electronic devices. Going against this trend, the authors present the electrical characteristics of switching devices based on a poly(methacrylate) derivative with pendent anthracene chromophores, MDCPAC. This material combines the excellent thin-film mechanical properties of poly(methacrylate) with anthracene's interesting electronic properties. MDCPAC is shown to have the basic properties required for binary information storage and potential for organic memory applications.
