Polar Liquid Crystal Elastomers Cross Linked Far from Thermodynamic Phase Transitions: Dislocation Loops in Smectic Clusters
Figure 9
The small angle peak intensities (a) and , the correlation length of the smectic layers calculated from the 2 profile, line 3 in Figure 7, are plotted as a function of temperature for the CN50, CN70, and CN100 samples. The solid and dotted lines are guides for the eye. The maximum peak intensities (a) and the maximum correlation length (b) for CN70 and CN100 are observed at C.
