Abstract

The synthesis and specific properties of the polymers derived from the monomers CH 2 =C(R)CO 2 (CH 2 ) n OPhPhCO 2 PhCO 2 CHR 1 CmH 2m+1 (R=H,Me; R 1 =CF 3 , CF 2 CF 3 ; m=6,7,8,10 n=2,6,8,12) are described. These materials exhibit quick response time (<10 ms) and large spontaneous polarization (40−70 nC/m 2 ) (90°C). A discussion of the response time−structure relationships is given. The response time becomes faster as the achiral chain connecting the mesogen to the polymer backbone and the chiral chain length becomes shorter. Especially, it is found that a trifluoromethyl group on the stereogenic center enhanced the response time
