Abstract

To model the thermal conductivity of polymer composites that are filled with ceramic powders, the conductivity of each component as well as the interfacial resistance at each ceramic–polymer boundary must be known. An indirect method to determine this interfacial boundary resistance is proposed by preparing large‐scale “macromodel” simulations of the polymer–ceramic interface. Macromodels, prepared by spin‐coating a polymer layer onto sapphire wafers, were formed in a sapphire–polymer–sapphire sandwich type structure. The interfacial boundary thermal resistance was calculated from thermal resistance measurements made on the macromodels.
