Thermal conductivity of polymers and polymer nanocomposites (2018, background): “howed that the thermal conductivity of PE increases when the polymer is stretched slowly. Such thermal conductivity enhancement is found to be strongly correlated with the orientation order parameter [22] which describes the change of chain conformation. However, the tensile extension not always lea”
Stochastic predictions of bulk properties of amorphous polyethylene based on molecular dynamics simulations (2014, methodology): “Gaussian, Schulz-Flory, log normal and the Poisson distribution are often used [13] to approximate the chain length distribution.”
