Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Sheets that are made up of oriented polymer chains are provided. Chains of polymer may be oriented or substantially aligned in one or more directions exhibiting enhanced thermal conductivity along the direction of orientation. Orientation of polymers within sheets may lead to a wide range of thermally relevant applications.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A sheet material comprising: at least one layer of substantially aligned polymer chains having a width and length substantially larger than a thickness, wherein the at least one layer of substantially aligned polymer chains is in a stretched state relative to a starting precursor of the polymer chains, the at least one layer having a stretch ratio of greater than 100, wherein the stretch ratio is obtained by stretching of the polymer chains while in contact…
