Thermal Conductivity of Common Oxides
The thermal conductivity of oxides can vary widely depending on the specific oxide compound and its structural and chemical properties. The following table provides a list of thermal conductivity values for common oxides at room temperature (approximately 25°C or 77°F) and 1 atmospheric (atm) pressure. (1 atm = 101,325 Pa)
