Electro-Optic Effects in a Smectogenic Polysiloxane Side-Chain Liquid Crystal Polymer

  • Chapter
Recent Advances in Liquid Crystalline Polymers

Abstract

The recent work of Krigbaum on main-chain1 and Finkelmann,2 Ringsdorf,3 etc., on side-chain polymer liquid crystals has generated much interest in the potential of these systems for use in electro-optic devices. The combination of polymeric specific and monomeric liquid crystal specific properties leads to an interesting range of potential materials for new display devices. The majority of the research over the last five years has concentrated on synthesis and the establishment of the basic property-structure relationships. However in the last year or so papers have started appearing where the electro-optic properties of some of these materials have been examined.4
