Abstract
The combination of thin-film and ferroelectric-elastomeric properties- of interest for piezoelectric and nonlinear optical applications-is th e aim in preparing freely-suspended (FS) films from polymeric liquid-c rystal elastomers with SmC phases. The preparation and characterizati on of such films from crosslinkable SmC polymers is reported for the first time, together with their photo-crosslinking and an investigatio n of the stabilization effect of the crosslinking.
