Abstract

The static and dynamic Kerr effects in a liquid‐crystalline (LC) side‐end polymer with a laterally substituted mesogenic fragment are studied. The characteristic relaxation times of the two different relaxation processes observed diverge at the same temperature. The main feature of the dynamic behavior of the polymer, e.g., the type of the electro‐optical response is similar to that of side‐on LC polymers.
