Terpenes are a large class of hydrocarbon compounds derived from isoprene, which can be produced by plants or emitted by insects. Terpene alcs. contain double bonds that may affect the addition polymerization, and hydroxyl groups that can promote the network crosslinking d. during the formation of polymer-dispersed liquid-crystal (PDLC) composite films. In this work, effects of different terpene alc. dopant on the morphol. and electro-optical properties of PDLC films are systematically investigated. It is found that the appropriate dopant amount of geraniol (GOL) has the superior effect to improve the electro-optical performance. The optimum addition amount is at 3 wt%, where the transmittance vs. voltage curve gets steeper, the driving voltage of PDLC film reduces from 74 to 32 V and meanwhile the contrast ratio maintains at a relatively high level (123). Thus, this work not only broadens the application scope of the natural spices but also provides a new strategy to reduce the driving voltage of PDLC films for practical applications. This study involved multiple reactions and reactants, such as 3,7-Dimethyloctan-1-ol (cas: 106-21-8Application of 106-21-8).
3,7-Dimethyloctan-1-ol (cas: 106-21-8) belongs to alcohols. Under appropriate conditions, inorganic acids also react with alcohols to form esters. To form these esters, a wide variety of specialized reagents and conditions can be used. Converting an alcohol to an alkene requires removal of the hydroxyl group and a hydrogen atom on the neighbouring carbon atom. Dehydrations are most commonly carried out by warming the alcohol in the presence of a strong dehydrating acid, such as concentrated sulfuric acid.Application of 106-21-8
