Abstract

Abstract A new polymeric ferroelectric liquid crystal (PFLC) with an optically active alkanoyl group and a chiral group derived from lactic acid has been synthesized. The PFLC shows the smectic A phase, chiral smectic C phase and higher-order smectic phase, and exhibits large spontaneous polarization.
