Effects of the chain length of crosslinking agents on the electro-optical properties of polymer-dispersed liquid crystal films was written by Kashima, Miki;Cao, Hui;Liu, Huijing;Meng, Qingyong;Wang, Ding;Li, Fasheng;Yang, Huai. And the article was included in Liquid Crystals in 2010.COA of Formula: C10H14O5 This article mentions the following:
Polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) films were prepared by photochem. polymerization from an UV-curable monomer/crosslinking agent/initiator/liquid crystal (LC) mixture The influences of the chain length of crosslinking agents on the PDLC system have been studied. The microstructures of the PDLC films were strongly influenced by the chain length of the crosslinker, which in turn influences the electro-optic properties of PDLC films. It is proved that adjusting the chain length of the crosslinking agents and the LC content can produce PDLC films that have good electro-optic properties with a lower LC content. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, Diethyleneglycoldiacrylate (cas: 4074-88-8COA of Formula: C10H14O5).
Diethyleneglycoldiacrylate (cas: 4074-88-8) belongs to alcohols. Alcohols are among the most common organic compounds. They are used as sweeteners and in making perfumes, are valuable intermediates in the synthesis of other compounds, and are among the most abundantly produced organic chemicals in industry. Under carefully controlled conditions, simple alcohols can undergo intermolecular dehydration to give ethers. This reaction is effective only with methanol, ethanol, and other simple primary alcohols.COA of Formula: C10H14O5
