## Abstract The mechanical behaviour of monodomain nematic side‐chain liquid‐crystalline elastomers containing azoderivatives as pendant groups or crosslinkers has been studied under UV irradiation and in the darkness at different temperatures. From the evaluation of the opto‐mechanical experiments

## Abstract Summary: The behavior of the complex shear modulus __G__ = __G′__ + i__G″__ of a main chain liquid crystalline elastomer film oriented with the director in the plane of the film is investigated for the first time by shearing the film in a direction perpendicular or parallel to the direc
## Abstract Rigid anisotropic crosslinkers have been shown to decrease the nematic order and the transition temperatures of main‐chain liquid crystalline elastomers (MCLCEs). In order to look into this phenomenon, the state of order of an anisotropic crosslinker in an MCLCE was investigated separat
