We discuss the macroscopic properties of several classes of polar liquid crystalline phases. We focus on polar biaxial liquid crystalline phases made of achiral molecules with ̄uidity in two and three spatial dimensions. The classes we examine include polar biaxial nematic phases, orthogonal biaxial smectic phases with anisotropic in-plane ̄uidity and tilted polar biaxial smectic phases with in...
متن کاملDevelopment of polar order and tilt in lamellar liquid crystalline phases of a bent-core mesogen.
A new bent-core mesogen combining a 4-cyanoresorcinol unit with two terephthalate based rod-like wings and terminated by two long alkyl chains, was synthesized and investigated by DSC, XRD, optical, electrooptical and dielectric methods. A series of liquid crystalline phases in the unique sequence SmA-SmA(P)-SmCPR-(M1/SmCPα)-SmCsPA-SmCPA-SmCaPA, mainly distinguished by the degree and mode of co...
متن کاملFerroelectric and Structured Phases from Polar Tapered Mesogens
INTRODUCTION The currently known ferroelectric liquid crystals have relatively complex tilted smectic phases constituted by chiral [1] or by banana-shaped molecules [2]. Although numerous novel materials of this type continue to appear [3], the development of ferroelectric nematic phases, i.e. of truly fluid phases with an overall polar order, would be a goal of considerable importance [4, 5]. ...
متن کاملOrder and dynamics of rod-like and banana-shaped liquid crystals by 2H NMR
Deuterium NMR spectroscopy is a very powerful technique for studying partially or totally ordered systems, such as liquid crystals (LCs) and polymers. LCs represent a branch of the most general class of soft materials, with peculiar physical and chemical properties which attracted scientific attention for their potentiality for technological applications. From a chemical point of view, there ar...
متن کاملField-induced transformations in the biaxial order of non-tilted phases in a bent-core smectic liquid crystal
The structural and electro-optic investigations of an achiral bent-core molecule in SmAPA phase, in which the polar directors in the neighboring layers are arranged antiferroelectrically, show that it undergoes transformation from one biaxial to another biaxial structure via a quasi-stable uniaxial structure on the application of the electric field. The noncontinuous change in biaxiality is exp...
