Abstract
The crosslinking of ferroelectric liquidβcrystalline (LC) polysiloxanes β performed within the region of microphase separation β allows the preparation of LCβelastomers which combine macroscopic form stability (insolubility) with nearly unchanged switching time (compared to the uncrosslinked polymers).

The direct and inverse piezoelectricity in single crystal ferroelectric liquid crystalline elastomers was measured by means of purpose-made experimental setups. As expected the observed effects depended strongly on temperature and the strength of the applied alternating electric field; additionally
