## Abstract The flow behavior and phase structure of two side‐chain liquid‐crystalline polysiloxanes with the same mesogens but different spacers of either four (PSi4) or six (PSi6) methylene groups are studied in the nematic phase by ^2^H NMR, polarization microscopy, and scattering of light, neut
