Abstract
Ferroelectric liquid crystalline elastomers combine the rubber elastic ity of polymer networks with liquid crystalline phases and ferroelectr ic ordering. Ferroelectric switching leads therefore to a deformation of the polymer network and an elastic stress. The coupling between bot h effects can be varied by changing the topology of the netpoints.
