Thermally conductive polymers are of fundamental interest and can also be exploited in thermal management applications. Recent studies have shown stretched polymers can achieve high thermal conductivity. However, the transport mechanisms of heat in thermally conductive polymers have yet to be elucidated. Here we report a method for scalable fabrication of polyethylene films with a high thermal conductivity of 62 W/m-K. The achieved thermal conductivity is over two orders-of-magnitude greater than that of typical polymers (~0.1 W/m-K), and exceeds those of many metals and ceramics used as traditional heat conductors. Careful structural studies are carried out and reveal that the film consists of nanofibers with crystalline and amorphous regions. Contrary to conventional wisdom, we reveal the importance of the amorphous morphology in achieving such high thermal conductivity, rather than simply from enhancements in the degree of crystallinity and crystallite alignment. The amorphous phase reaches a remarkably high thermal conductivity of ~16 W/m-K. Even still, we identify that the presence of this amorphous phase is the dominant factor as the film thermal conductivity is still much lower than the predicted values for bulk single-crystal polyethylene (237 K/m-K). This work lays the foundation for the rational design and synthesis of thermally conductive polymers, and opens up new opportunities for advanced heat management, particularly when flexible, lightweight, chemically inert and electrically insulating thermal conductors are desired.

It is textbookly regarded that phonons, i.e., an energy quantum of propagating lattice waves, are the main heat carriers in perfect crystals. As a result, in many crystals, e.g., bulk silicon, the temperature-dependent thermal conductivity shows the
classical 1/T relationship because of the dominant Umklapp phonon-phonon scattering in the systems. However, the thermal conductivity of many crystalline metal-organic frameworks is very low and shows no, a weakly negative and even a weakly positive temperature dependence (glass-like thermal conductivity). It has been in debate whether the thermal transport can be still described by phonons in metal-organic frameworks. Here, by studying two typical systems, i.e., crystal zeolitic imidazolate framework-4 (cZIF-4) and crystal zeolitic imidazolate framework-62 (c-ZIF62), we prove that the ultralow thermal conductivity in metal-organic frameworks is resulting from the strong phonon intrinsic structure scattering due to the large mass difference and the large cavity between Zn and N atoms. Our mean free path spectrum analysis shows that both propagating and non-propagating anharmonic vibrational modes exist in the systems, and contribute largely to the thermal conductivity. The corresponding weakly negative or positive temperature dependence of the thermal conductivity is stemming from the competition between the propagating and non-propagating anharmonic vibrational modes. Our study here provides a fundamental understanding of thermal transport in metal-organic frameworks and will guide the design of the thermal-related applications using metal-organic frameworks, e.g., inflammable gas storage, chemical catalysis, solar thermal conversion and so on.
Microparticles including paraffin are currently used for textiles coating in order to deaden thermal shocks. We will show that polymer nanoparticles embedded in those microsized capsules allow for decreasing the thermal conductivity of the coating an
d enhance the protection in the stationary regime. A reasonable volume fraction of polymer nanoparticles reduces the conductivity more than predicted by Maxwell mixing rules. Besides, measurements prove that the polymer nanoparticles do not affect the latent heat and even improve the phase change behaviour as well as the mechanical properties.
Management of heat during charging and discharging of Li-ion batteries is critical for their safety, reliability, and performance. Understanding the thermal conductivity of the materials comprising batteries is crucial for controlling the temperature
and temperature distribution in batteries. This work provides systemic quantitative measurements of the thermal conductivity of three important classes of solid electrolytes (oxides, sulfides, and halides) over the temperature range 150-350 K. Studies include the oxides Li1.5Al0.5Ge1.5(PO4)3 and Li6.4La3Zr1.4Ta0.6O12, sulfides Li2S-P2S5, Li6PS5Cl, and Na3PS4, and halides Li3InCl6 and Li3YCl6. Thermal conductivities of sulfide and halide solid electrolytes are in the range 0.45-0.70 W m-1 K-1; thermal conductivities of Li6.4La3Zr1.4Ta0.6O12 and Li1.5Al0.5Ge1.5(PO4)3 are 1.4 W m-1 K-1 and 2.2 W m-1 K-1, respectively. For most of the solid electrolytes studied in this work, the thermal conductivity increases with increasing temperature; i.e., the thermal conductivity has a glass-like temperature dependence. The measured room-temperature thermal conductivities agree well with the calculated minimum thermal conductivities indicating the phonon mean-free-paths in these solid electrolytes are close to an atomic spacing. We attribute the low, glass-like thermal conductivity of the solid electrolytes investigated to the combination of their complex crystal structures and the atomic-scale disorder induced by the materials processing methods that are typically needed to produce high ionic conductivities.
The thermal conductivity of solid parahydrogen crystal with methane admixtures has been measured in the temperature range 1.5 to 8 K. Solid samples were grown from the gas mixture at 13 K. Concentration of CH4 admixture molecules in the gas varied fo
rm 5 to 570 ppm. A very broad maximum of thermal conductivity with absolute value of about 110 W/(m K) is observed at 2.6 K. The data are interpreted by Callaway model considering phonons resonant scattering on quasi-local vibrations of CH4 molecules, phonon-grain boundary and phonon-phonon scattering processes. The increase of grain boundary scattering leads to the decrease of the maximum broadening. The analysis shows that the solid mixture of p-H2 and CH4 is a heterogeneous solution for CH4 concentration higher than 0.1 ppm.
We report the results of an experimental study of thermal and magnetic properties of nanostructured ferrimagnetic iron oxide composites with graphene and graphite fillers synthesized via the current activated pressure assisted densification. The ther
mal conductivity was measured using the laser-flash and transient plane source techniques. It was demonstrated that addition of 5 wt. % of equal mixture of graphene and graphite flakes to the composite results in a factor of x2.6 enhancement of the thermal conductivity without significant degradation of the saturation magnetization. The microscopy and spectroscopic characterization reveal that sp2 carbon fillers preserve their crystal structure and morphology during the composite processing. The strong increase in the thermal conductivity was attributed to the excellent phonon heat conduction properties of graphene and graphite. The results are important for energy and electronic applications of the nanostructured permanent magnets.
