Summary

The thermal conductivity of a room temperature vulcanized silicone elastomer has been measured between 1.2 and 300 K. The values first increase from 2 x 0,001 W/m.K at 1.2 K to a maximum value of 0.30 W/m.K at 220 K and then quickly drop, remaining at the constant value of 0.27 W/m.K from 240 to 300 K. The maximum corresponds to the melting temperature of the polydimethylsiloxane, the base polymer of the elastomer.
