The relationship between the physical properties and the molecular structure of a number of smectic C compounds has been investigated. Special emphasis was placed on the study of a new class of laterally substituted smectic C compounds incorporating a trans-1,4-disubstituted cyclohexane ring. We have investigated the influence of new chical dopants on the ferrolectric and physical properties of smectic C mixtures. New chiral smectic C liquid crystal mixtures have been developed. Due to the low response times, low birefringence and excellent chemical and U.V. stability, these mixtures are particularly well suited for electro-optic device applications.
