Cowling, Stephen J.,Hall, Alan W.,Goodby, John W.
, p. 9031 - 9042 (2012/01/15)
In this article we examine the effects of cyclohexane and perfluorocyclohexane being used as bulky end groups on the mesomorphism of classical smectic liquid crystal mesogens. The mesogen that is used in this work is typical of the MHPOBC family of materi
Examination of the interlayer strength of smectic liquid crystals through the study of partially fluorinated and branched fluorinated end-groups

Through the incorporation of partially fluorinated and branched fluorinated end-groups of ferroelectric liquid crystals we aimed to examine the effects on physico-chemical structures and properties, and electrical switching behaviour for a family of compo
