Other Phase Transitions in Liquid Crystalline Elastomers

5 Other Phase Transitions in Liquid Crystalline Elastomers 

In addition to the phase transitions de-seribed so far, a number of other phase transitions involving liquid crystalline phases has been reported. These include for side-chain liquid crystalline elastomers SmC-I [32], N-SmA [6, 30], N-SmF [32], SmA-SmC [32], SmA-SmB [32] and SmC-SmF [32], Furthermore, a phase transition between a SmA phase and a re-entrant
