摘要
Several alkenyl diphenyldiacetylene liquid crystals were synthesized and their physical properties evaluated. The introduction of a double bond in the side chain leads to an unexpectedly wide nematic range and an extraordinarily large figure of merit at elevated temperatures. These liquid crystals are particularly attractive for infrared laser-beam steering. (C) 2000 American Institute of Physics. [S0003-6951(00)00433-2].
