    The equilibrium Kerr effect and its dynamics are investigated in isotropic melts of the comb-shaped LC polymer poly(4-[(4′-cyano-1,1′-biphenyl-4-yl)oxy]butyl-2-acrylate) and its copolymers and isotropic melts of the LC ionomer containing rubidium ions in a wide temperature range. A sharp change in the temperature dependence of relaxation times for the induced macroscopic orientational order is found for the LC copolymers and the LC ionomer in the temperature range 10–15 K higher than the temperature of the nematic-isotropic phase transition. The dynamic behavior is approximated by the conventional Arrhenius type dependence, and the equilibrium electrooptical properties of the copolymers are well characterized via the Landau-De Gennes model.
