Abstract
Measurements are reported which show that the room-temperature nematic MBBA can be de-formed by means of curvature electricity if it is contained in a thin sandwich cell with the electric field parallel and the unique axis normal to the bounding walls. Meyer’s coefficient e33 was determined to be 4·10−5 dyne½ at room temperature; and its sign was found to be positive. © 1972 Walter de Gruyter. All rights reserved.
