## Abstract In liquidβcrystal elastomers, the simultaneous presence of rubber elasticity due to the crosslinked backbone chains and of optical birefringence due to the mesogens in the side chains lead to exceptional physical properties. An elastic deformation of the network influences the order of
## Abstract The strainβinduced director reorientation process in nematic liquid single crystal elastomers is investigated for the case of an arbitrary angle between the original director and the external stress axis. If the mechanical stress is applied perpendicular to the original director axis, t
## Abstract The mechanical response of a smectic __A__ liquid single crystal elastomer (LSCE) to stress applied perpendicular and parallel to the layers is described. We find that the static modulus perpendicular to the layers is two orders of magnitude larger than the modulus parallel to the layer
