Abstract
In contrast to the wealth of data available on ferroelectric liquid crystals at atmospheric pressure, only a few reports of studies at high pressure exist. We have undertaken systematic high pressure studies of the properties of these materials. In this paper the results of detailed measurements of spontaneous polarisation and transverse static dielectric constant as functions of pressure for two different compounds exhibiting low and high values of polarisation are presented.
