Abstract A theory of swelling equilibria of isotropic networks in nematic solvents is given. It is based on the Flory lattice model adapted for mixtures of flexible polymers with thermotropic nematic liquid crystals. The degree of swelling exhibits an anomaly at the isotropic to nematic transition temperature of the solvent. Below this temperature the network shrinks continuously to a size hardly exceeding the dimensions of the dry state.
