Emerging polymer ferroelectrics with liquid crystalline order

For liquid crystals (LCs) and liquid crystalline polymers (LCPs), a chiral smectic C (SmC*) phase has been mandatory for breaking the symmetry and achieving ferroelectricity. However, this SmC* phase leads to rather low spontaneous polarization (Ps, 0.1–5 mC/m2), which has limited their usage in var...
