## Abstract The swelling of a nematogenic elastomer by an isotropic solvent was earlier predicted (__Macromolecules__ 25, 445 (1992)) to be more complex than that of a classical elastomer. We extend here to the swelling by solvents having a nematic‐isotropic transition in the pure phase in the regi

## Abstract **Summary:** Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy with polarized light is employed to study the segmental orientation and the order of a nematic liquid crystalline elastomers (NLCEs) with a monodomain structure in response to an external mechanical field. The reorientation and
