WebAbstract. In a brief history of the discovery of antiferroelectricity in liquid crystals, the important role played by tristable switching, i.e. an electric field induced phase transition from antiferroelectric SC A * to ferroelectric SC*, has been emphasised and the antiferroelectric herringbone structure of SC A * has been presented. WebSep 23, 2016 · A novel series of siloxane-based chiral smectic side-chain liquid crystalline elastomers containing nematic and chiral mesogens were fabricated through synthesis involving a one-step hydrosilication reaction …
