## Abstract We have investigated the shape‐memory effects of uniaxially‐deformed, chiral, smectic C (SmC^\*^) elastomers for two different types of crosslinker, namely, a hydroquinone‐type crosslinker and a rod‐like crosslinker. Mesogens tilt with decreasing temperature from the SmA phase to the Sm
