Cholesteryl oleyl carbonate (Cat No.: M075180) is a liquid crystal compound formed by esterifying cholesterol with oleyl carbonate. This waxy, lipid-like material exhibits thermotropic liquid crystalline behavior, making it valuable in display technologies, thermotropic sensors, and optical devices. It is often used in combination with other cholesteric liquid crystals to fine-tune phase transition temperatures and reflective properties. Additionally, its biocompatibility and lipid structure enable applications in drug delivery systems, cosmetic formulations, and biomimetic membrane studies, where controlled fluidity and molecular alignment are essential.
