A brilliant cosmetic film with polymerized cholesteric material (PCM) has been developed. The film features a variety of colors by helical pitch gradients, diffusive texture, and arbitrary color patterns. It hides the display when turned off, and transmits display images when turned on. We believe it could change the display in the Off‐state from the conventional black wall to specially designed decorations. In addition, they can be applied to hidden sensors.
6-Azafulleroid-6-deoxy-2,3-di-O-myristoylcellulose (3) was synthesized from 6-azido-6-deoxycellulose (1) by two reaction steps. The myristoylation of compound 1 with myristoyl chloride/pyridine proceeded smoothly to give 6-azido-6-deoxy-2,3-di-O-myristoylcellulose (2) in 97.0% yield. The reaction of compound 2 with fullerene (C(60)) was carried out by microwave heating to afford compound 3 in high yield. It was found from FT-IR, (13)C NMR, UV-vis, differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), SEC analyses that compound 3 was the expected C(60)-containing polymer. Consequently, maximum degree of substitution of C(60) (DS(C60)) of compound 3 was 0.33.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
