Highlights
? Order parameters by 2H NMR of 2H-labelled liquid crystal elastomers and 2H-labelled probes in LCEs. ? Crosslinking density vs. thermodynamic features of the paranematic–nematic transition. ? Heterogeneity of real samples, phase biaxiality and coupling between strain and order. ? Comparison between liquid crystal elastomers and non-mesogenic elastomers. ? Comparison between liquid crystal polymers and liquid crystal elastomers.
