The measurements of thermal conductivity, heat capacity and thermal diffusivity play an important role in the rubber industry, mainly in tire construction, because these values and their changes directly influence the instantaneous value of viscosity, loss factor tg[delta], and because of that, the adhesion of the tire to a road surface.
Thermal diffusivity measurements were then performed by the laser flash instrument.
For example, thermal conductivity ([kappa]) and thermal diffusivity (D) should be correlated through a relation involving the density ([rho]) and the specific heat at constant pressure ([C.
