    Abstract

    The effect of molecular shape on the properties and structure of de Vries materials in new series of chiral liquid crystalline materials has been studied using electrooptical measurements of electroclinic response above the SmA-SmC transition. A non-calamitic molecular shape is found to be an essential parameter for formation of de Vries phase.
