Notes:
Thermal conductivities were measured for melts of a series of polypropylene and a series of polyethylene samples that had been characterized by GPC. Results indicate that thermal conductivity depends upon the molecular weight distribution and degree of branching of the polymers. The results of this work can probably be used to predict the thermal conductivity of a commercially available polypropylene or polyethylene to within 25%.
