Side group liquid‐crystalline polymers (SG‐LCP) will need to be macroscopically oriented if the applications foreseen for them are to be realized. The first observation of oscillatory‐sheer‐induced alignment of an SG‐LCP melt (the Figure shows a schematic of the rheo‐optical apparatus used) is repor

The orientation relaxation behavior of a stretched side-chain liquid crystalline polymer (SCLCP) on a poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) film under strain was investigated through infrared dichroism at temperatures near its phase transitions. We found a reorientation of the aligned mesogens over the smectic
## Abstract New photo‐crosslinkable side‐chain liquid‐crystalline methacrylate polymers comprising __m__‐[4′‐(__n__‐cinnamoyloxyalkoxy)biphenyl‐4‐yloxy]alkyl groups (__m__, __n__ = 2, 6) were synthesized. All polymers exhibit a nematic liquid‐crystalline phase depending on the spacer length (5a–5d)
