| Abstract: | A number of tailor-made side chain liquid crystalline terpolysiloxanes, containing chiral cyanohydrin ester, phenyl pyrimidine and fluorinated phenylbenzoate as the side groups, have been synthesized for potential applications as ferroelectric liquid crystal polymers. All the polysiloxanes exhibit the mesomorphic sequence of crystal-chiral smectic C-smectic A-isotropic phases. |
