General description

Cholesteryl oleyl carbonate(COC) is a carbonate ester of cholesterol and oleyl alcohol with carbonic acid that is used as a liquid crystal(LC) molecule. It has is a crystalline material with a helical structure.

Application

COC can be incorporated in the polyethylene glycol(PEG)-polyurethane(PU) matrix that exhibits lower thrombogenicity and an improved haemocompatibility which can used as a biomaterial in biomedical applications. It may also be self-assembled with cadmium selenide(CdSe) quantum dots(QDs) for the fabrication of novel multifunctional switchable devices.

Asymmetric Polymerization in a Chiral Liquid Crystal Reaction Field

It is well known that polyacetylene is a one-dimensional conjugated macromolecule and a good representative for conducting polymers. Pristine polyacetylene is a typical semiconductor, but its electrical conductivity can be amplified by over 14 orders of magnitude through doping.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
