| Abstract: | With the aim to develop a standard method for measurements of the polarization of ferroelectric chiral smectic C liquid crystalline materials, we have studied thin, well-aligned samples of MBRA-8 using the field-reversal method. The method also provides an estimate for the rotational viscosity and for the response times. |
