Title: | Superior thermal conductivity and extremely high mechanical strength in polyethylene chains from ab initio calculation | Authors: | Jiang, Jin-Wu Zhao, Junhua Zhou, Kun Rabczuk, Timon |
Issue Date: | 2012 | Source: | Jiang, J. W., Zhao, J., Zhou, K., & Rabczuk, T. (2012). Superior thermal conductivity and extremely high mechanical strength in polyethylene chains from ab initio calculation. Journal of Applied Physics, 111(12). | Series/Report no.: | Journal of Applied Physics | Abstract: | The upper limit of the thermal conductivity and the mechanical strength are predicted for the polyethylene chain, by performing the ab initio calculation and applying the quantum mechanical non-equilibrium Green’s function approach. Specially, there are two main findings from our calculation: (1) the thermal conductivity can reach a high value of 310 Wm−1 K−1 in a 100 nm polyethylene chain at room temperature and the thermal conductivity increases with the length of the chain; (2) the Young’s modulus in the polyethylene chain is as high as 374.5 GPa, and the polyethylene chain can sustain 32.85%±0.05% (ultimate) strain before undergoing structural phase transition into gaseous ethylene. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10356/95477 http://hdl.handle.net/10220/9280 |
