Abstract
Langmuir-Blodgett films built of a mesomorphic side chain polymethacry late are investigated from the point of view of their phase changes ag ainst temperature. With heating, a strong 'out of plane' molecular reo rganization towards a smectic phase takes place giving rise to an incr ease of the order parameter.
