Abstract
Liquid crystal monomers and polymers which display chiral smectic C phases are good candidates for electro-optical devices because of their optical or ferroelectric properties and fast switching time. The key functionality responsible for these properties is the chiral endgroup. In order to better understand the effect of structural variation of chiral endgrops on polarization, liquid crystalline amides, derived from natural amino acids and aromatic acids, were prepared. A non-traditional polymerization procedure, chlorohydrosilylation-hydrolysis will be used to prepare the polysiloxane.
