Application

1,4-Bis[4-(3-acryloyloxypropyloxy) benzoyloxy]-2-methylbenzene is a liquid-crystalline elastomer (LCE) monomer that has been explored as photonically , chemically or thermally fueled LCE actuator (LCEA) precursor for use in:
  • soft robotics, such as microscopic walkers , and self-healable actuators ;
  • 4d printing ;
  • amplifier reflectors for organic-inorganic perovskite solar-cells or for secure authentication .
  • optical sensors for medical applications .
This product can be used in Material Jetting or Vat polymerization 3D printing techniques.
