Notes:
Three ferroelectric copolysiloxanes with different molar mass have been synthesized. Mechanical measurements and electro-optical switching behaviour in both cell and thin film geometry are reported. Removal of short chains doubled Mn and slowed down electro-optical switching but the mechanical properties were not affected. A further twofold increase in Mn by chain extension did not affect electro-optical switching times but improved the mechanical properties markedly.
