Commentary on: "Unconventional elasticity in smectic-A elastomers" by O. Stenull and T.C. Lubensky
Abstract
The reorientation behaviour of a smectic-A (SmA) elastomer deformed parallel to the smectic layer normal has been interpreted as a Sm-C like transition by Stenull and Lubensky. Experiments, however, prove that such a transition does not occur.
