Abstract

Abstract : Front Cover : In article number 2000071 by Chensha Li, Liguo Sun, Jianqi Zhang, and co‐workers, polysiloxane main‐chain liquid‐crystalline elastomers (MC‐LCEs) are successfully prepared by using an ultrasonics sonochemistry method. In the first crosslinking step, the hydrosilylation polyaddition reaction is carried out in an ordinary laboratory ultrasonic cleaner at room temperature within 30 min to generate the network structure of matrices. Then, through the drawing process and second crosslinking step, the uniaxially aligned polysilxoane MC‐LCEs are obtained. The image shown is a 2D X‐ray scattering pattern of one of the LCEs.
