Ferroelectric liquid crystalline elastomers combine the rubber elasticity of polymer networks with liquid crystalline phases and ferroelectric ordering. Ferroelectric switching leads therefore to a deformation of the polymer network and an elastic stress. The coupling between both effccts can be varied by changing the topology of the netpoints.
