The synthesis and characterization of a main-chain chiral smectic liquid crystalline thiol-ene polymer system is described. The chemical structure is designed based on the structure of W317, a mesogen with a large electroclinic effect in the SmA* phase. The novel thiol-ene monomer K0902 has a large surface electroclinic effect with an unexpected small electroclinic effect in the SmA* phase. The corresponding thiol-ene oligomer poly-K0902 is characterized by GPC, DSC, POM, XRD and shows an expected I-SmA*-Glass phase sequence but the electroclinic angle is relatively small.
