Abstract
Thermal conductivity of cross-linked polymers was studied theoretically. A theory derived from the network model, which consists of thermal conduction through van der Waals and primary bonds, predicts that the thermal conductivity increases with an increasing degree of cross-linking. Calculations for estimating the effect of cross-linking on the thermal conductivity were made for polystyrene and poly(methyl methacrylate). Thermal conduction through the van der Waals and primary bonds was also discussed using the Debye formula for the thermal conductivity of low molecular crystals.
