## 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 Three series of main‐chain liquid‐crystalline polymers (P1, P2, and P3) were synthesized by an interfacial condensation reaction of sebacoyl dichloride with various amount of brilliant yellow, isosorbide, and 4,4′‐biphenydiol. P1 series are polyesters prepared from sebacoyl chloride and
## Abstract This paper presents the synthetic route to SmA LC main‐chain polymers, that can be (photo)crosslinked without solvent in the bulk phase. They are based on soluble polymalonates, in which higher ordered phases can be suppressed by copolymerization with a laterally brominated biphenyl. Tw
## 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
