Origin of high thermal conductivity in disentangled ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene films: ballistic phonons within enlarged crystals
Oriented polymers may exhibit high thermal conductivity, but the upper limits remain unclear. Here, the authors show that heat-carrying phonons scatter primarily from crystalline domain boundaries in disentangled polyethylene films.
