Description

Cholesterol Propionate is a monolayer film-forming polymer that forms a polymeric matrix when combined with water. The thermal expansion of this material is dependent on the concentration of cholesterol propionate and can be used as a target tissue for multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). In addition, Cholesterol Propionate has been shown to have light emission properties due to its hydroxyl group and fatty acid content. The phase transition temperature of the material is dependent on the concentration of benzoate in the formulation. When it reaches the phase transition temperature, cholesteryl benzoate undergoes a phase change from crystalline to liquid at room temperature. This property can be used to activate MWCNTs within Cholesterol Propionate films, which then emit light.
