Abstract
Slow dynamics of strain recovery for nematic elastomers with polydomain textures is investigated. The polydomain nematic elastomer formed in the isotropic phase exhibits much slower relaxation than that made in the polydomain nematic phase, while they show no appreciable difference in equilibrium properties such as the degree of swelling and phase transition temperature.
