Abstract
The orientational order of a liquid crystalline side chain polysiloxan e has been investigated by means of polarized light spectroscopy and d ielectric relaxation measurements. The order parameters [P-2] and [P-4 ] have been determined as a function of the temperature for the smecti c and nematic phases. The orienting properties of the polysiloxane inv estigated have compared with those of a polysiloxane with the same mes ogenic groups, but a shorter spacer.
