Description

4-(11-Acryloyloxyundecyloxy)Benzoic Acid is a specialized monomer featuring a reactive acrylate group and a mesogenic benzoic acid core linked by an undecyloxy spacer. This compound matters as a key building block for synthesizing side-chain liquid crystalline polymers (SCLCPs) and advanced functional materials. It is needed by R&D chemists and material scientists in the polymer, display technology, and specialty coatings industries for creating materials with tailored optical, electro-optical, and surface properties.

Application

• Liquid Crystal Polymer Synthesis: A fundamental monomer for creating side-chain liquid crystalline polymers (SCLCPs) with specific mesophase behavior.
• Advanced Display Materials: Used in the development of polymer-dispersed liquid crystals (PDLCs) and other electro-optical devices for smart windows and displays.
• Photoreactive Polymers: Serves as a photoreactive moiety in polymers for applications in holography, optical data storage, and photolithography.
• Functional Coatings: Incorporated into coatings to impart anisotropic surface properties, alignment layers for liquid crystals, or stimuli-responsive behavior.
• Non-linear Optical (NLO) Materials: A precursor for polymers with non-linear optical properties used in telecommunications and photonics.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: A valuable tool for research into structure-property relationships in soft matter and functional polymeric materials.

Quality Control

Our 4-(11-Acryloyloxyundecyloxy)Benzoic Acid is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods, to ensure it meets the high standards required for advanced material synthesis. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee batch-to-batch consistency and support your quality assurance processes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants or an inert atmosphere.
