## Abstract A series of new side‐chain cholesteric liquid‐crystalline polysiloxanes was synthesized by grafting copolymerization. The chemical structures of the obtained monomers and polymers were confirmed by Fourier transform infrared or ^1^H‐NMR spectroscopy. The mesomorphic properties were inve
