Correlating and predicting polymer thermal conductivities

General correlations were developed to estimte polymer thermal conductivities for four cases—amorphous polymers above the glass temperature; amorphous polymers below the glass temperature; semicrystalline polymers above the melting temperature, and semicrystalline polymers below the melting temperat...

Description
Summary:General correlations were developed to estimte polymer thermal conductivities for four cases—amorphous polymers above the glass temperature; amorphous polymers below the glass temperature; semicrystalline polymers above the melting temperature, and semicrystalline polymers below the melting temperature. The correlations based on readily available parameters (mer weights, densities at 25°C, specific heats) yielded calculated thermal conductivities that deviated by only 1%–2% from experimental values.
