Although thermally conductive composites that can efficiently dissipate the heat generated from electronic devices are in high demand, most neat polymers used as matrix materials are problematic because they have poor thermal conductivities. The low thermal conductivity of polymeric materials is caused by structural defects; therefore, it can be improved by increasing the orientational regularity of the polymer chains. Here, main-chain liquid crystalline polymers (LCPs) were designed and synthesized to investigate the effects of liquid crystallinity-induced structural regularity on the thermal conductivity of the polymers. The designed polymers exhibited thermotropic liquid crystalline characteristics, and the polymer with longer spacers between the rigid segments showed relatively higher thermal conductivity exceeding 0.5 W·m-1· K-1 after sample preparation by injection molding. |
