Nematic networks with three different concentrations of polar and nonpolar mesogens and the same concentration of a novel cross-linking agent give rise to unusual liquid single crystal elastomers (LSCEs) that are transparent monodomain nematic networ

Ever since the first theoretical phase diagram that was published by Straley in 1974, extensive theoretical efforts have been made on predicting the molecular shape and properties of mesogens that can form a biaxial-nematic phase. The theories sugges

We present studies on bulk smectic-A copolymer networks with end-on attached homeotropically oriented mesogens that show spontaneous optical biaxiality at room temperature. Orthoscopic and conoscopic investigations under uniaxial extension in the lay

A high-resolution calorimetric study has been performed in the vicinity of the isotropic to smectic-A phase transition of smectic liquid crystalline elastomers. The transition is weakly first order for both investigated samples. Nevertheless, differe

The shear mechanical properties of nematic side-chain liquid-crystal elastomers swollen with a nematic solvent are studied. The results show that the elasticity of the network is Gaussian for elastomers oriented before crosslinking and non-Gaussian f

Smectic-A elastomers combine one-dimensional translational order of rod-like segments with the rubber elasticity of a polymer network. In recent years, detailed investigations were carried out on elastomers showing a global prolate chain conformation

The mechanical behaviour of monodomain nematic side-chain liquid-crystalline elastomers containing azoderivatives as pendant groups or crosslinkers has been studied under UV irradiation and in the darkness at different temperatures. From the evaluati

Recently it has been predicted that shear forces can unlock the director and the layer normal in smectic-A elastomers, leading to a smectic-C like tilt analogous to the electroclinic effect of chiral SA* phases. In order to investigate this phenomeno

Nematic liquid single crystal elastomers (LSCEs) that contain azobenzenes as cross-linkers have a clear application in the field of light-controlled actuators. They are able to modify their macroscopic dimensions upon irradiation with UV light and fu

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 wh
