Abstract
Abstract A chiral smectic C* side chain polymer (LCPTT) with a chiral polytartrate skeletal main chain exhibited cholesteric (Ch) and chiral smectic C* (SmC*) hases. The maximum value of spontaneous polarization was 5 mC/m2 in the SmC* phase. In the Ch phase, LCPTT exhibited electric-field-induced ferroelectric behavior. The reciprocal response time in the Ch phase was directly proportional to the strength of the applied electric field, in the same manner as the SmC* phase. In the SmC* phase, the ferroelectric response time was 103 times shorter than the paraelectric response time.
