Abstract
Thermal conductivities (TCs) of the vast majority of amorphous polymers are in a very narrow range, 0.1 \sim0.5 Wm^{-1}^{-1} although single polymer chains possess TC of orders-of-magnitude higher. Entanglement of polymer chains plays an important role in determining the TC of bulk polymers. We propose a thermal resistance network (TRN) model for TC in amorphous polymers taking into account the entanglement of molecular chains. Our...
