Unsymmetric main-chain liquid crystal elastomers with tuneable phase behaviour: synthesis and mesomorphismElectronic supplementary information (ESI) available: DSC traces for monomers and elastomers; X-ray diffraction patterns. See DOI: 10.1039/c0jm03691a

The synthesis of a new series of polysiloxane-based, main-chain liquid crystal elastomers (MC-LCEs) containing unsymmetric mesogenic units is described. The structure of the mesogenic monomers, spacers and cross-linkers has been varied systematically in order to tune the thermotropic behaviour of th...
