Strain-induced oriented crystallization of UHMWPE: Enhanced thermal conductivity through molecular chain alignment

Thermal conductivity of bulk polymers can be enhanced by strain-induced oriented crystallization. This work reports a three-step solution-free fabrication process to promote a polymer film’s molecular chain alignment. First, the mobility of molecular chain is promoted by equilibrating the film at an...
