Abstract
The one-dimensional ordering of the ordered tilted (F) and normal (B) smectic phases of comb-like polymers is discussed. The one-dimensional correlation functions are calculated and the damping behaviour of one-dimensional correlations is characterized. The density distribution profiles along the normal to the plane of a smectic layer are determined. Finally, the variations of one-dimensional ordering during tilted-normal smectic phase transitions are examined.
