Application

This acrylate-functionalized cyanobiphenyl derivative is primarily used in the development of polymer-dispersed liquid crystals (PDLCs) for smart windows and light modulation devices. It serves as a key monomer for creating photoalignable layers in LCD manufacturing through UV polymerization. Researchers utilize its mesogenic properties to study phase behavior in nematic liquid crystal mixtures. The compound is also valuable in fabricating holographic polymer-dispersed liquid crystals (H-PDLCs) for optical data storage applications.
