How alignment controls heat transport in polymer chains with kinks?
Igor V. Parshin, Igor V. Rubtsov, Alexander L. Burin
Thermal transport in polymer chains is commonly attributed to ballistic propagation of long-wavelength acoustic phonons, which act as Goldstone modes protected by translational sym…

Thermal conductivity of aligned polymers with kinks
Igor V. Parshin, Igor V. Rubtsov, Alexander L. Burin
Thermal conductivity of aligned polymer molecules can be exceptionally high along the alignment direction due to energy transport through strong covalent bonds. At the same time, i…
