In‐situ polymerization of liquid‐crystalline diacetylene monomers provides can easily accessible route to conjugated polymeric materials with a controlled orientation. The reaction itself is explained and recent progress made by researchers aiming to produce interestng electroactive materials or fabricate novel device structures with anisotropic mechanical, thermal, and optical properties is reviewed.
