Abstract
Some physical parameters of comb-shaped ferroelectric liquid-crystalline polymers were measured. Their rotational viscosities are two or three orders of magnitude larger than that of low molecular weight ferroelectric liquid crystals. Furthermore, they are found generally to be proportional to the second power of the weight-average molecular weight. Spontaneous polarization of the ferroelectric liquid-crystalline polymers has little dependence on molecular weight.
