Abstract
A homologous series of MBOPEnOBA chiral compounds has heen synthesized and some chemical and physical properties of the components as well as that of a binary mixture has heen studied. Measurements of the spontaneous polarization and the pitch are presented and results of eutectic, dielectric, electrooptic and electromechanical investigations are given.Keywords
