Optical and calorimetric techniques are used to determine the phase behavior, which is found to depend strongly on the crosslink density (and the flexible spacer length); though (nominally) a relatively high degree of crosslinking is possible without completely destroying the liquid crystal phase. Mechanical measurements in conjunction with supplementary analytical data, where available, are used to determine the efficiency of copolymerization at introducing intermolecular crosslinking. Some possible explanations for the unexpectedly low efficiency of this process are discussed. The properties of materials prepared in this fashion are compared briefly with some examples where crosslinking is introduced after polymerization; this latter process is seen to be rather more efficient.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/pola.1990.080280613","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2003,4,18]],"date-time":"2003-04-18T21:09:05Z","timestamp":1050700145000},"page":"1455-1472","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":32,"title":["Liquid crystal elastomers: Synthesis and characterization"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"28","author":[{"given":"Frederick J.","family":"Davis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Andrew","family":"Gilbert","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"John","family":"Mann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Geoffrey R.","family":"Mitchell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2003,3,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1351\/pac198557111715"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_2","volume-title":"Polymer Liquid Crystals","author":"Finkleman H.","year":"1982"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_4_2","first-page":"81","volume":"1","author":"Finkelmann H.","year":"1985","journal-title":"Disp.
