title: Device Applications of Side-Chain Ferroelectric Liquid Crystalline Polymer Films
abstract: Side-chain ferroelectric liquid crystalline polymers are currently used in a number of applications, including displays and electrical sensors. Comparisons with existing technologies and materials indicate that relative to ceramics, such polymers have lower figures of merit but offer greater durability in sensor applications.
