Abstract
The thermal conductivity of a sample of polyethylene has been measured in the temperature range below 1°K. The results obtained are inconsistent with previous theories offered to explain thermal conduction in these materials at higher temperatures; a simple modification to the theory is suggested which is consistent with the current data.Keywords
