Abstract

Thermal imaging involves movement of heat and materials through a heterogeneous material; see Figure 7.1. It is however complicated by the fact that the materials involved are polymers and mixture of polymers. This causes nonlinear thermal and diffusion characteristics at the temperatures involved.
