Ferroelectric liquid crystal (LC) polymers have several advantages compared to low molecular weight ferrolectric LCs (as well as a few disadvantages). The synthesis characterization, and physical properties of a ferroelectric LC homopolymer and a related new ferroelectric LC polymer system-consisting of a block copolymer with microdomain morphology-are reported. The nearly total absence of hysteresis indicates that the system is monostable, which could make such polymers suitable for display applications with active matrix addressing.
