Abstract

Abstract The syntheses and structures of chiral liquid crystalline polymers (LCPs) are briefly reviewed with emphasis on the established structure‐property correlations. The most recent advances and future trends in their potential applications in optics and electrooptics are also outlined, with particular reference to the ferroelectric, electroclinic, piezoelectric, and nonlinear optical properties of chiral LCPs.
