Molecular ferroelectrics have the potential to become viable material alternatives to inorganic ferroelectrics. Unlike traditional oxide ferroelectrics, molecular ferroelectrics are structurally flexible, can be engineered at the molecular level, and can be assembled on nearly any surface, including flexible sheets and fabrics. The application of molecular ferroelectrics hinges, however, on the availability of strategies to fabricate thin films with defined structure and morphology on a large scale, which at the same time preserve their ferroelectric properties.
