Abstract
To clarify the mechanism involved in the appearance of antiferroelectric pr
operties in mixtures of polymers containing achiral mesogenic side chains a
nd their monomers, X-ray investigation was carried out in pyroelectrically
active samples. The thermal stability of such systems is also reported. The
X-ray investigation shows that in highly concentrated mixtures of monomer
in polymer, a segregation of the excess of monomer from an optimized ratio
(33% monomer/polymer) occurs. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights res
