Broken Inversion Symmetry via a Magic Methyl Effect
Calum J Gibb, Jordan Hobbs, Caitlin O Brien +4
Polar liquid crystals - fluid phases in which molecular dipoles organise into ferro- or antiferroelectric states - present a highly constrained molecular design space, where small…

Reactive Fluid Ferroelectrics: A Gateway to the Next Generation of Ferroelectric Liquid Crystalline Polymer Networks
Stuart R Berrow, Jordan Hobbs, Calum J Gibb
Herein we report the first examples of reactive mesogenic materials (RMs) which exhibit fluid ferroelectric order based on the recently discovered ferroelectric nematic (NF) phase.…
