A series of side-chain liquid crystalline polymers (LCPs) with polysiloxane backbones have been synthesized by grafting mesogenic monomers to poly[3-mercaptopropylmethylsiloxane] (PMMS) via thiol-ene click chemistry. Moreover, by controlling the molar ratio of PMMS and mesogenic monomers, PMMS-based LCPs can be partially functionalized, meanwhile leaving spare mercapto groups, which can be further used as crosslinking sites to prepare polysiloxane-based liquid crystalline elastomers (LCEs).
