18. There is one reported example of a side chain polymer liquid crystal with a tilted anchoring at the free surface, but it is a side-on polymer whose behaviour cannot be compared with that of the end-on polymers we consider here: Dumoulin, H., 1996, These d’Universite, Universite de Paris-Sud, Orsay, France.
