Abstract

) with strong second harmonic generation and macroscopic spontaneous polar ordering. The polar structures are confirmed to be identical for all the synthesized materials. Furthermore, adapting this strategy to high-molecular weight systems allows us to generalize this approach to polar polymeric materials, creating polar soft matters with spontaneous symmetry breaking.
