摘要:
Mixtures of a fluorescent liquid crystalline side chain polyacrylate and its corresponding ferroelectric monomer were studied by optical microscopy, DSC, X-ray and electro-optic techniques. For some of these mixtures we surprisingly found the emergence of the ferroelectric S*xphase, which is not exhibited by the single components. The crystalline phase of the monomer is completely suppressed by polymer concentrations above 25 per cent. The 50 per cent polymer-containing mixture shows a clear eutectic effect for the tilted phases and allows electro-optic switching close to room temperature, more than 40 K below the melting point of the monomer.
