Abstract
The dielectric properties of a new high purity siloxane side-chain liquid crystalline polymer are investigated using low and radio frequency techniques. Side-chain mesogenic units are aligned homeotropically or planarly by cooling from the isotropic melt in the presence of the electric field. Results of dielectric measurements are interpreted in terms of the Araki, Attard, Kozak, and Williams theory. The two-frequency addressing principle important for practical applications is also examined.
