Ferroelectric Smectic Liquid Crystals as Electrocaloric Materials
The 1980s saw the development of ferroelectric chiral smectic C (SmC*) liquid crystals (FLCs) with a clear focus on their application in fast electro-optic devices. However, as the only known fluid ferroelectric materials, they also have potential in other applications, one of which is in heat-excha...
