A liquid single crystal siloxane elastomer (LSCE) is synthesized by hydrosilylation and is shown to be in a state beyond the critical point of the nematic-isotropic phase transformation. This supercritical behaviour may be explained both by mechanical field in the LSCE sample and by the finite size effect arising from the crosslinks. Both effects give additional contributions to the Landau-de Gennes free energy which may lead to the critical phenomenon
