Thermal Transport in Polymers: A Review

Abstract In this article, we review thermal transport in polymers with different morphologies from aligned fibers to bulk amorphous states. We survey early and recent efforts engineering high conductivity by fabricating large-scale molecular alignments. The experimentally realized extremely of polymer nanofibers is highlighted, understanding physics discussed. then transition the discussion an emphasis on its relation conformation chains polymers. also discuss current how chemistry would influence some limited, but important chemistry-structure-property relationships. Lastly, challenges, perspectives, outlook field are presented. hope will inspire more fundamental applied research advance scientific applications.
