Theophrastus Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 (edited) I suppose it might be because their greater structural strength, due to their molecular structure would result in lesser elasticity, which would make them easier to break. Is that what you were asking? Can you perhaps specify further to the identity of the polymer in question as there is certainly more than one type of thermoconductive polymer. Secondly, are you refering to attributes purely related to the polymer's structure, or rather a particular polymer?
