Description

6-[4-(4-Hexyloxyphenylazo)Phenoxy]Hexyl Acrylate is a specialized acrylate monomer functionalized with an azobenzene chromophore. This compound is engineered to combine the photo-responsive properties of an azo dye with the polymerizable functionality of an acrylate ester. It is a critical intermediate for researchers and manufacturers developing advanced functional polymers, particularly for applications in photonics and smart materials. Key industries requiring this material include specialty polymer synthesis, advanced material science, and optoelectronics.

Application

• Synthesis of Photo-responsive Polymers: As a key monomer for creating polymers with light-induced conformational changes, useful in actuators and artificial muscles.
• Advanced Optical Materials: For developing liquid crystal polymers (LCPs) and films with tunable birefringence for display and lens technologies.
• Holographic Data Storage: Serving as a recording medium component for high-density, rewritable optical data storage systems.
• Surface Modification & Coatings: To impart photo-switchable surface properties, such as wettability or adhesion, on various substrates.
• Non-linear Optical (NLO) Materials: As a building block for polymers with second- or third-order non-linear optical effects for telecommunications and signal processing.
• Chemical Sensing: Integration into polymer matrices for creating optical sensors that respond to specific environmental stimuli.

Quality Control

Every batch of 6-[4-(4-Hexyloxyphenylazo)Phenoxy]Hexyl Acrylate is produced and tested under strict quality management protocols to ensure high purity and consistent performance. Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available upon request, detailing key parameters such as purity, identity, and impurity profiles.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive nature and acrylate functionality, prolonged exposure to light, heat, or atmospheric oxygen should be avoided to maintain product integrity. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents and initiators.
