Abstract
Since the first discovery by Meyer et al. 1 of a liquid crystal which exhibited ferroelectric behaviour where the lath-like molecules are tilted in the same direction in layers (synclinic), research into ferroelectric liquid crystals has predominantly concentrated on investigations involving changes to the central core geometries of mesogenic materials or by varying the length of the terminal aliphatic or chiral aliphatic chain (tail), resulting in a number of detailed reviews of ...
