Abstract

A method for calculating the thermal conductivity coefficient in polymers filled with dispersed particles is proposed. This model is based on estimation of the mean width of a polymer layer between the particles that are randomly distributed in space. This model makes it possible to allow for the effect of particle dimensions, interaction between components, and their characteristics in the course of processing via extrusion.
