## Abstract A main‐chain elastomer was synthesized for the first time by a cross‐linking hydrosilylation of a cyclosiloxane with a new main‐chain liquid crystalline semiflexible polyether. Imposing a uniaxial mechanical field to the unstretched nematic polydomain sample results in a macroscopic ali

## Abstract The polydomain–monodomain (PM) transformation takes place when a polydomain of a smectic‐C main‐chain liquid‐crystalline elastomer (SmC MCLCE) is uniaxially stretched. We present results based on a combination of mechanical and X‐ray experiments which show how the domains initially rear

## 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

## Abstract ^2^H NMR investigations on the biaxial phase behavior of smectic‐A liquid crystalline side‐chain elastomers are presented. Biaxiality parameters were determined by measuring the quadrupolar splitting of two spin probes, namely benzene‐d~6~ and hexamethylbenzene‐d~18~, at various angles
