dc.description.abstract	The synthesis, characterization and mesomorphic properties of the first examples of novel disulphide-bridged alkoxycyanobiphenyl dimers are reported. The thermal behaviour of these mesogens was investigated by polarizing optical microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffractometry. The dimers with a shorter spacer exhibit only the nematic phase while dimers with a longer spacer display nematic as well as smectic phases. X-ray diffraction experiments reveal the intercalated structure of the SmA phase of these dimers and the presence of short range SmA-like order in the N phase (cybotactic nematic) of all the compounds, except the one with the shortest spacer.	en
