  Recently we have formulated theory of bi-layer-dimerized chiral liquid
antiferroelectric crystals. The spontaneous polarization has been increased
owing to the strong interaction of the aromatic cores of the rod like liquid
crystal molecules with the honey-comb pattern of the CNT walls The SmC*A
ordering is improved around the CNTs. All relaxation modes in each phase are
facilitated by dispersion of nanotubes whicg enhances the relaxation
frequencies. This composite system with improvement in electro-optical
properties can be exploited in modern display applications. SmC* LC were
studied by one of t he authors (OH), namely their transition from the SmC
phase. The role of disclinations in an applied electric field was studied by O.
Hudak in the SmC* structure. While the role of fluctuations and of
disclinations in the SmC* (FLC)was studied in the above papers, the role of
fluctuations and disclinations in SmC*A and the role of addition of MWCNTs in
SmC*A phaseis not well understood. Our theoretical description of (AFLC)
including SmC*A introduced in may thus be used to study these effects.
