## Abstract Smecticβ__A__ liquid single crystal elastomers (S~A~βLSCE) are materials where the rubber elasticity of the polymer network is combined with the oneβdimensional positional longβrange order of mesogenic groups which are covalently attached to the network. In the systems investigated so f
We report observations on the growth patterns of smectic A liquid crystals from the nematic phase in binary mixtures which exhibit an induced smectic phase. In cells prepared with 'homeotropic' boundary conditions there is a clear indication of a microphase separation which leads to nucleation of th
