Abstract
New ferroelectric Liquid Crystal Compounds: (+)-4-(2-Methylbutyloxycarbonyl) 4-(5-alkyl-1,3-dioxan-2-yl)benzoate were synthesized. Some physical properties of these materials were measured and compared with those of (s)-2-methylbutyl p-(p-decyloxybenzylideneamino)cinnamate (DOBAMBC). Theprincipal features of these new ferroelectric liquid crystal compounds are: (1) wider temperature rangeof the ferroelectric liquid crystalline phase; (2) longer helical pitches; and (3) lower rotational viscositycoefficient.Keywords
