Abstract

The realignment of a liquid crystalline (LC) side chain polymer in its liquid crystalline state, induced by a directing d.c. electric field, has been studied with the aid of dielectric relaxation spectroscopy and the time-dependent macroscopic director order parameter S_d(t) has been determined. The form of the response curves for different applied voltages is discussed in relation to calculations we have made for S_d(t) using the recent theory of A.F. Martins, P. Esnault and F. Volino.
