This Paper is a review of the factors that determine the thermal conductivity of polymers below 100 K. Starting from the 'universal' behaviour found in all amorphous solids we shall examine how far this can be changed when we come to consider semicrystalline polymers, and the further changes that ca

โฆ Synopsis
Thermal conductivity of polyamide-imide Torlon 4203 was measured at temperatures between 0.1K and IK. The measurements were carried out in a dilution refrigerator using a steady state technique.
The fit on the data gave a temperature dependence of the conductivity: k = c~ โข T ~, with n = 2.23 :t: 0.01 and o = (7.72 + 0.08) -lO-SW/cmt( n+l.
A quadratic dependence on T of the conductivity can be explained, within the framework of the tunneling model, as being due to the resonant scattering of phonons by two level systems.
