Fig. 1.26 Molecular structures of ferroelectric liquid crystalline polymers (a) scheme of the molecular design, (b) polyacrylates, (c) polyoxyethylenes, (d) polysiloxanes, and (e) hybrid polymers...

The author s group chose polyacrylate [102, 103], polyoxyethylene [104, 105], polysiloxane [103], and a polyacrylate/polysiloxane hybrid polymer [106] as the main chain according to the design in Fig. 1.26b-e. We attached various kinds of side-chain structures onto polymer main chains described above and checked the physical properties of these side-chain-type ferroelectric liquid crystalline polymers (FLCPs).
