The properties of ferroelectric compound (S)-(+)-4-(1-methylheptyloxycarbonyl)phenyl 4′-(4-cyanoacetoxybut-1-oxy) biphenyl-4-carboxylate and its ability of an antiferroelectric phase induction in mixtures
Phase transitions and ferroelectric properties of (S)-(+)-4-(1-methylheptyloxycarbonyl)phenyl 4′-(4-cyanoacetoxybut-1-oxy)biphenyl-4-carboxylate will be described in this article. This compound exhibits the synclinic smectic C* phase and it has the ability to induce an antiferroelectric
phase in mixtures with the other ferroelectric compounds. New systems with induced antiferroelectric phase and their properties are presented.
Keywords: binary mixture; ferroelectric phase; induced antiferroelectric phase; spontaneous polarization; tilt angle
