Abstract

Ferroelectricity can be detected in systems consisting of liquid‐crystalline monomer–polymer mixtures possessing no chiral centers The ferroelectric behavior in mixtures of achiral liquid‐crystalline side‐chain polymers and achiral liquid‐crystalline monomers is reported for the first time. The mixtures manifested high pyroelectric activity, with values of spontaneous polarization close to the theoretical limit and a “figure of merit” comparable to the value of classic organic ferroelectric materials.
