Abstract

High-resolution x-ray scattering measurements of the smectic-C phase of the polymeric liquid crystal, C-6 polysiloxane, show that the smectic-C tilt angle p decreases continuously upon decreasing temperature. This behavior, opposite to that observed in monomeric liquid crystals, is caused by stiffening in the polymeric backbones and spacers.
