46. The order parameter of recovered nematic samples described in section 2 is zero.
47. Looking carefully at Table 4 for long effective durations of relaxation, it seems that even the local deformation ratio is higher at large q than at low q. Large distances seem to have relaxed more than short ones. This effect, enhanced at lower temperature, can be correlated to the variation of S. The mesogenic cores remain well oriented thus the chain comnformation cannot appear relaxed at small scales.
