## 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 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 ^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
