Broadband dielectric spectroscopy was applied to investigate the effect of gel-former agent on the dynamics of the collective modes in a ferroelectric liquid crystal mixture. In the investigated range of gel concentrations, the dynamics of the Goldstone mode is significantly reduced due to the formation of a hydrogen bonding network of the gel-former agent in ferroelectric liquid crystal. The observed changes in dynamics of the collective processes are sensitive to the history of the thermal treatment of the samples.
