Sign reversal of the spontaneous polarization in the C phase of a side - chain polyacrylate and its monomer

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/10587259208038533

The electro-optic response in the C phase of a side-chain polyacrylate and its monomer has been found to exhibit an anomalous dependence on temperature. The apparent tilt angle undergoes a sign reversal. The anomaly is attributed to a sign reversal of the
