Electro-optic studies of bistable smectic A organosiloxane liquid crystals

This thesis examines the material and electro-optic characterisation of organosiloxane liquid crystals; these materials, by virtue of their chemically distinct, tri-block structure possess wide smectic A (S<sub>A</sub>) phases. They include one monomesogenic series, which consists of a 4...
