Liquid-crystalline epoxy resins have high thermal conductivities. Its high thermal conductivity results from highly ordered molecules in the smectic structure. Alignment order of molecules are significant factor for the thermal conductivity. In the present study, we examine molecular dynamics simulation to estimate alignment order of molecules of epoxy resin. Relation between the obtained alignment order and thermal conductivity is discussed and recipe to develop epoxy resin of higher thermal conductivity is also presented.
