Abstract: An organic-optic recording tape of higher capacity and higher packing density of data. This tape comprises a backcoating layer, a base film coated on the backcoating layer, and a complex functional layer for writing, reading and erasing data. The complex functional layer is coated on the base film and selectively focused by laser beams of different powers outputted from a laser diode in order to write, read or erase data. This complex functional layer is made of a block polymer prepared by blending a thermoplastic elastomer and a viscoelastic transparent thermoplastic high-molecular resin or polymerizing them. Near infrared absorbing organic colorants are dispersed in the complex functional layer. The transparent thermoplastic resin has a glass transition temperature higher than that of the elastomer. The recording is effected by employing a laser beam of lower power capable of inducing thermal expansion of the elastomer and formation of a bump.

Abstract: There is provided a process for preparing five-membered heterocyclic polymers represented by a formula (II) which comprises electrochemically polymerizing five-membered heterocyclic monomers of formula (I) in the presence of tetrabutylammonium alkylsulfate as an electrolyte and an organic solvent, wherein formulas (I) and (II) are represented by the formulas ##STR1## and wherein, M represents nitrogen or sulfur, provided that hydrogen is deleted when M is sulfur;R is hydrogen or a C.sub.4 -C.sub.22 aliphatic alkyl group, provided that R is hydrogen when M is nitrogen, while R is hydrogen or a C.sub.4 -C.sub.22 aliphatic alkyl group including butyl, pentyl, hexyl, octyl and dodecyl when M is sulfur; andA represents an anion formed from an electrolyte dissociated in the electrolytic polymerization cell and functions as a dopant which facilitates electric conductivity to the polymer.
