In order to contribute to better understanding of the molecular structure – physical property relationship, properties of ferroelectric liquid crystalline materials derived from the lactic acid with the keto group in the molecular core has been studied. These compounds differing only by the length of the chiral and non-chiral alkyl chains exhibit the paraelectric SmA* and the ferroelectric SmC* phase over 150 K broad temperature range down to the room temperature. Temperature dependences of spontaneous polarization, tilt angle, layer spacing, helix pitch length and dielectric permittivity has been compared and discussed for all studied compounds. The effect of the alkyl chains length on mesomorphic properties has been established and discussed in comparison to that of similar materials.
