Abstract
Some liquid crystalline side chain polymers are described with respect to some of their properties in the electric field. Compounds investigated were polyacryl and polysiloxanes with mesogenic p-substituted phenylbenzoates. The compounds show a static dielectric anisotropy Δɛ\s>0. This allows the two-frequency technique to be applied. Some response times are in the 100 ms range at temperatures not too much below the clearing point.
The relaxation frequencies of ɛ ‖ are ∼ 103 smaller compared to the low molecular liquid crystal data. This depends on the remarkable higher viscosity of the polymers.
Lecture given at the 31th Conference of the Kolloid Gesellschaft, Bayreuth October 11–14, 1983.
