35. The layer spacing of 19.6 Å is approximately equal to the length of one mesogen-spacer repeating unit. The same value is used for estimation of the contour length of the polymer chains in the Discussion section.

38. The in situ rheo-X-ray observation shows that the shear-induced orientation does not relax for at least 30 min in the nematic phase and the x-phase. Thus, we assume the orientation obtained by steady preshearing in these experiments was maintained (at least qualitatively in terms of parallel versus perpendicular) after the heating (or cooling) process and 5 min of thermal equilibration at 140 °C (or 110 °C).
