1D-to-3D transition of photon heat conduction in polyethylene using molecular dynamics simulations

Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, 2009. === Includes bibliographical references (p. 115-119). === Experiments have demonstrated that the mechanical stretching of bulk polyethylene can increase its thermal conductivity by more than two orders of...
