Investigation of a Design Strategy For Liquid Crystals with De Vries-Like Properties
… of this thesis, we have developed a rational design strategy based on a concept of frustration between two structural elements, one promoting a SmA phase and another promoting a SmC phase. In this chapter, we show that one can further improve ‘de Vries-like’ properties by substituting the …
