This paper reports measurements of the dielectric response over the frequency range 10 2 to 10 9  Hz of a liquid crystal dimer consisting of two ester mesogens laterally linked by an alkoxy chain containing a siloxane group. The synthesis and phase behaviour of the siloxane dimer are also reported....
